Strengthening BRICS in Areas of Internal Security, Public Health, Disaster Management and the Role of Media

This book examines BRICS+ countries as a post-Cold War emerging response to the compelling consequences of unipolar order and the overbearing effects of non-military security issues such as internal security, public health security, disaster management and the role of media. The book: • Explores the BRICS+ countries’ conception of internal security and its impact on the broader global security architecture in the post-Cold War dispensation. • Critiques the substance and efficacy of BRICS+ countries' public health regimes and diplomacy in the context of pandemics and other health emergencies. • Evaluates the multiple trajectories of natural and artificial disasters in the BRICS countries. • Assesses the role of the fourth estate in shaping public discourse, such as peacebuilding in the BRICS+ countries, as well as the role of social media through themes such as digital diplomacy.

The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers in international relations, Public policy & administration, and Media Development.
