| Inhalt | This seminar explores the ideas, policies, opportunities and hurdles that relate to the efforts toward a sustainable transition in the so-called BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates). In the fields of energy use, agriculture, waste/pollution, resource extraction or climate change, the BRICS countries nowadays have a major impact on the global environment, and have nominally made environmental sustainability a top policy priority. To what extent do ideas and definitions of ‘sustainability’ overlap with or differ from those of high income countries? To what extent do their policies align with internationally agreed SDGs and how do they seek to pursue them in a way that matches what they perceive as their national or collective interests? What are the main opportunities and obstacles, and how have policy-makers and non-state actors dealt with them? To what extent should China and India (the second and soon to be third largest economies in the world) even be considered as ‘emerging markets’? Do high-income countries even have the right concepts, approaches, and mandates to negotiate sustainability transformations with BRICS countries? The aim of the seminar is to address these and related questions in an interdisciplinary perspective, including sociology, political science, philosophy and history. |
