The Emergence of Southern Multilateralisms

  • Summary

  • Multilateral institutions such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organisation are open to countries from all parts of the world. However, they were formed under the initiative of Western powers, thus countries from the Global South struggle to acquire economic and strategic relevance within those frameworks.

    Dr Indrajit Roy tells the story of emerging "Southern Multilateralisms" that are becoming important to the global order. This draws from his academic research on emerging challenges to the Liberal International Order with a focus on the New Development Bank and the India-Brazil-South Africa Fund for international development. The new forms of Southern multilateralism promise to upend the prevailing Northern-led global order.

    Dr Indrajit Roy is a senior lecturer at the University of York. He worked in the development sector for seven years prior to undertaking his doctoral studies at the University of Oxford. Since obtaining a doctorate in development studies, he has held the ESRC Future Research Leader Fellowship at the Oxford Department of International Development (ODID) as well as a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) at Wolfson College, University of Oxford. His research and teaching contribute to critical approaches to studying the politics of global development, with a focus on ‘new development futures’ that promise to reframe the discipline.
