Reviews
This book provides an authoritative, comprehensive, and lucid account of the rise of the BRICS. A compelling narrative about how a group of economies, which have some congruent interests but are simultaneously competitors in many other areas, have set aside their differences and come together as a force to reckon with in global finance. * Eswar Prasad, Tolani Senior Professor of Trade Policy, Cornell University, and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution *
Here is a book that sceptics of the BRICS must read. Through careful and nuanced analysis, the authors show why no serious analyst of global financial governance can ignore this grouping any longer. * Eric Helleiner, Professor of Political Science, University of Waterloo *
Daniel McDowell's book, Bucking the Buck: US Financial Sanctions and the International Backlash against the Dollar, makes a revelatory contribution from the US' perspective built upon meticulous case assessments and empirical analyses. * China International Strategy Review *
