Focus on the Global South Contributes to TNI’s “Shifting Power” Reader

Focus on the Global South co-founder Walden Bello and staff members Pablo Solon, Afsar Jafri, Joseph Purugganan, and Dorothy Guerrero have contributed to a new reader from Transnational Institute (TNI) called “Shifting Power: Critical Perspectives on Emerging Economies.” Their working papers examine BRICS and global trade, BRICS and global capitalism, and the changing role of China in the world economy.

According to TNI’s website, the reader “seeks to help movements navigate our changing multipolar world as well as provide an invaluable source of alternative analysis for students, analysts and journalists.” Read and download the whole document as a PDF, or click below to get individual chapters by our staff:
