The February edition of the newsletter Voices from the South, published by the Karibu Foundation, partner of the BRICS Policy Center in the research project “The political economy of South-South relations: a comparative analysis of China’s investments in Brazil and South Africa”, is now available.

In the newsletter, IRI/PUC-Rio professor and BPC director Ana Garcia describes the initial findings of the project, and presents an analysis that observes how South-South investments do not necessarily provide an alternative for the conditions of workers, communities, and the environment when operating within a logic of accumulation – on the contrary, these investments can reproduce pre-existing hierarchies in countries of the Global South.
