The emerging economies of BRICS have long been resentful about the way in which the Bretton Woods institutions – the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank – have governed the global ‘public goods’. Although hailed as the ‘fire-fighter of the world economy’, these institutions proved to be ineffective in mitigating the effects of successive regional as well as global financial crises. Further, their inability to carry out meaningful internal reform fuelled widespread discontent among BRICS countries leading them to create alternate financial entities like the New Development Bank (NDB) and the Contingency Reserve Arrangement (CRA). A closer look at the functioning of these institutions however tells a different story. Although BRICS as a grouping had initially projected a joint front on the idea of public good based on collective choices and preferences, the rising power asymmetry within their own institutions has gradually eclipsed the revisionist agenda and rendered them status-quoist in their approach to reform. Thus, these new institutions, though initially believed to work as alternatives creating new norms and rules for the global financial system, are increasingly becoming complements to the extant institutions.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"43 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132365282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regionalism has been studied in terms of integration and cooperation, in the broader context of the establishment of multilateral liberal networks and the promotion of globalisation processes. But the concept of regionalism is dramatically different today, with regions and regionalism taking a quasi-autonomous role in shaping global policies and in addressing several issues and areas previously tackled in the framework of global multilateral institutions. Building on the existing literature, the main assumption of this paper is that regionalism as a set of policies and economic measures could be considered as an obvious output as well as a consequence of a strategic path-breaking behaviour adopted by international actors in the context of a changing global world order. In order to understand and to cast this regional dynamic properly, it is necessary to depart from the traditional Western-centric materialist and rationalist mainstream theories towards a more cross-fertilising, pluralistic methodological toolbox able to explain the dynamics governing a ‘world of regions’.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124295561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I introduce pious capital as a concept that illuminates how this figure embodies the intersections of borders where borders mean the binaries that this figure appears to transcend: she is the best of the East and worthy of the West both. Situated at the apparent intersection of the East and the West, this new Pakistani working woman represents Islam as modern (read compatible with capital), Pakistan as productive, and certain forms of piety as empowerment. This is not about the customers who frequent Working Woman or class simply as purchasing power, rather it is about the story this ad campaign by Working Woman is trying to tell and sell about Pakistani womanhood on a global stage. Part fantasy, part aspiration, part control, this new feminist story still upholds discourses of cultural and religious authenticity and heteronormative femininity – with a new fashion-forward twist. The mobility of this figure signals transnational discourses of value, and the movement of bodies, capital, affect, and aesthetics across borders.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127601126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These texts can be seen as forms of translation into modernity, of subjects that are rarely represented in English-language literature, that cannot be recognised by the text, that exist at its margins. These texts are founded in the idea of the nation; which is unable to contain or represent these mother figures. Where is the nation for the non-English speaking Sikh and Muslim mothers in the texts if it is neither India nor Britain (where acceptance is conditional on being ‘modern’, speaking English, secular)? The ‘difference’ of these mother figures means that they don’t fit into the idea of Britain; their identities are tied up with the immediate communities in which they live and the regions from whence they hail. There is little connection to the British citizen-making project and ‘multiculturalism’. Decolonial readings of these texts through regional (Punjabi) lens can help to read the mother figures better, reading her ‘difference’. Meanwhile, resilience can be seen as a form of resistance to British hegemony – connected to rural Punjabi female resistance (resilience) to British and Indian elite hegemony under British colonialism.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133984806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following Walter Mignolo, we call for epistemic disobedience using border thinking as the necessary condition for thinking decolonially. Borders in this case are conceptualised not just as geographical borders of nation states, they also signify the borders of modern/colonial world, epistemic and ontological orders that the gendered and racialised populations of ex-colonies inhabit. We claim that dwelling, thinking and writing from these borders create conditions of epistemic disobedience to coloniality/modernity discourses of the West. The contributors of this collection, all women of colour from South Asia and South Asian diaspora write from and about these borders that challenge the colonial universality of thinking about gender. They are writing from and with subalternised racial/ethnic/sexual spaces and bodies located geographically in South Asia and South Asian diasporic contexts. In this way, when coloniality/modernity is shaping universalist understandings of gender we are able to use a broader canon of thought to produce a more pluriversal understanding of the world.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131814008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contrary to sceptical predictions, the group was able, at that time, to overcome differences and stress common features. Under these premises, this paper will briefly examine the instruments used by BRICS to create a unique form of legal network, based on soft law policies and legal transplant and exchange of best law practices; however, the absence of coherent decisions in the group’s external actions and the lack of implementation of certain internal projects also represent relevant drawbacks. Through the analysis of BRICS’ internal and external activities and forms of cooperation, this work aims at discussing important issues related to the future of the group and its role in the international dimension: will BRICS be able to act as a unified bloc in the global arena? Will these states be able to strengthen their cooperation? In conclusion, the BRICS union is an innovative phenomenon of global cooperation and well worth studying; nonetheless, some critical reflections and developments are required in order to consider the group a successful actor on the international scene.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130836383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
