Abstract

ABSTRACT For decades, the most used mainstream model for economic growth and development was that used and promoted by the global north. However, this model has not seen the same results in the developing global south as it has in the developed global north. BRICS emerged as an organisation that presented an alternative means to the global north’s approach to economic growth and development. This article examines whether BRICS membership has fostered the economic growth and development of South Africa and Brazil. This article examines the five years before and after Brazil and South Africa joined BRICS. Key findings of the study are that economic growth and development gains have been minimal. The study concludes that Brazil and South Africa have achieved political gains from their BRICS membership, which is considered to offset the absence of tangible economic growth and development gains.

经济增长和发展的渠道?探讨南非、巴西加入金砖国家问题。

摘要几十年来，最常用的主流经济增长和发展模式是全球北方使用和推广的模式。然而，这种模式在发展中的全球南方并没有看到与发达的全球北方相同的结果。金砖国家是一个为全球北方经济增长和发展提供替代手段的组织。本文考察了金砖国家成员资格是否促进了南非和巴西的经济增长和发展。本文考察了巴西和南非加入金砖国家前后的五年。该研究的主要发现是，经济增长和发展收益微乎其微。该研究得出结论，巴西和南非从其金砖国家成员国身份中获得了政治利益，这被认为抵消了缺乏切实的经济增长和发展成果的影响。

期刊介绍： Politikon focuses primarily on South African politics, but not exclusively so. Over the years the journal has published articles by some of the world" leading political scientists, including Arend Lijphart, Samuel Huntingdon, and Philippe Schmitter. It has also featured important contributions from South Africa"s leading political philosophers, political scientists and international relations experts. It has proved an influential journal, particularly in debates over the merits of South Africa"s constitutional reforms (in 1983 and 1994). In the last few years special issues have focused on women and politics in South Africa, and the South African election of 1999.
