Aims & Scope

The Journal of BRICS Studies is an open-access, peer-reviewed non-disciplinary academic journal focused on the critical and intersectoral study of subjects related to the BRICS, the agency of emerging powers and South-South cooperation. BRICS studies require discussion and analysis that go beyond and disrupt the disciplinary lines of knowledge to make possible knowledge-otherwise. The journal is hosted by the Institute for Global African Affairs at the University of Johannesburg. It is dedicated to nurturing the emerging idea of BRICSology as an area of scientific and policy study seeking to understand issues shared by the five continents on which the BRICS are found, the so-called BRICS+ area of interest beyond the five BRICS countries. BRICS studies require critical, decolonial and intersectional discussion and analysis that disrupt the disciplinary lines of knowledge to make possible knowledge-otherwise. It welcomes submissions that seek to address conditions faced by ordinary people, their aspirations and their agency. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research articles, review articles/commentary, and emerging voices' essays.
