The crisis of Northern capitalism and the failure of hegemonic global governance have provided a fertile ground for post-hegemonic initiatives promoting South-South cooperation. Major Southern countries, particularly the BRICS, have taken the lead in advocating for alternative governance mechanisms that are strongly focused on economic, financial, cultural, and defense cooperation.

This book delves into the historical, political-economic, and geopolitical backdrop in which major Southern countries implement a post-hegemonic agenda. Through a series of focused case studies from Europe, Latin America, Eurasia, and Africa, the author offers a global and comprehensive perspective on the multipolarization of world politics, grounded in the concept of global hegemony.

This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and activists engaged in global political economy, regionalism studies, and international development. It will be of interest to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of world politics and South-South cooperation.
