An Emerging South-South Coalition Strategy: China, Africa And Latin America, Tricia Gray Dec 2009

An Emerging South-South Coalition Strategy: China, Africa And Latin America, Tricia Gray

This study concludes that a South-South coalition framework is a useful model for understanding Global South states’ foreign policy behavior and for addressing future conflicts.
