IBSA Six Years On: Co-operation in a New Global Order

An assessment of IBSA’s progress in its first six years as a powerful coalition for development. Recommends focus issues, collaboration tactics, funding expansion, and co-existence with other emerging configurations like BRIC (Brazil-Russia-India-China). Commends IBSA for improving South-South dialogue and making development a priority, calling it “an example of development co-operation in a new global order.”
