The G20 and BRICS: Engaging with international institutions for global governance

& ORCID Icon
 

ABSTRACT

The emergence of the G20 and BRICS in response to vulnerabilities and changes in the world economy in the new millennium has generated a range of expectations, reflections and criticisms. The G20, in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008, sought to manage the crisis, reform the international architecture and devise a new global consensus. The BRICS formation pledged to foster cooperation and coordination between members and to promote international institutional reform. This study explores the modes of engagement of the G20 and BRICS in their dealings with international institutions, testing the assumptions that they can resort to a combination of approaches and that their preferred approach reflects their mission and role in the system of international institutions (IIs). The intensity of engagement by the G20 and BRICS with various IIs in fulfilling their global governance functions confirms their commitment to multilateralism.
