Explaining BRICS Outreach: Motivations and Institutionalization
INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS RESEARCH JOURNAL. Vol. 15. No 2 (2020) Explaining BRICS Outreach: Motivations and Institutionalization H. Zhao, D. Lesage Huanyu Zhao – PhD, Researcher, Ghent Institute for International Studies (GIIS), Ghent University – Department of Political Science; 8 Universiteitstraat, B9000 Gent, Belgium; Email: [email protected] Dries Lesage – Associate Professor, Ghent Institute for International Studies (GIIS), Ghent University – Department of Political Science; 8 Universiteitstraat, B9000 Gent, Belgium; Email: [email protected] Abstract This article examines and explains the outreach activity of the BRICS group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. We focus on two research puzzles: a) the motivations and b) the form and degree of the institutionalization of BRICS outreach. We define outreach as collaborative interaction among BRICS and other actors within and outside the BRICS area and focus on outreach to governments of non-BRICS countries and national top officials representing regional organizations. First, we offer a theoretical framework based on the experiences of the Group of 7/8 (G7/8) and the Group of 20 (G20), considering both commonalities and differences with BRICS. Second, we provide a detailed empirical analysis of BRICS outreach over time. Third, we explain BRICS outreach in light of the theoretical framework and enrich it based on our findings. Methodologically, we draw empirical information from official documents, news media and academic literature. We argue that the outreach activity of a major power grouping is reflective of its internal cohesion, as well as of how it defines its own position in the world and how it is perceived by others.

Maternal Health Without Abortion: Dubious Development Or an Ethical Policy?
Maternal Health Without Abortion: Dubious Development or an Ethical Policy? Marianne Poirier Norman Paterson School of International Affairs 1 Introduction The Muskoka Initiative, created in June 2010 at the G8 Summit in Huntsville, Ontario, is intended to “address the significant gaps that exist in maternal, newborn, and child health in developing countries.”1It includes a relatively comprehensive list of components, stretching from direct obstetric care, such as prenatal care and sexual and reproductive health care and services, to more environmental and preventative elements, such as safe drinking water, basic nutrition, and immunization.2Though this a relatively inclusive mandate, the Canadian government drew criticism from other members of the G8 for refusing to include funding for abortion services (under family planning) in the Muskoka Initiative.3 Reasoning from the government for this decision has simply been that there was “enough other worthy initiatives to support”.4 This research seeks to ask the question of whether or not the criticism of the Canadian government by fellow members of the G8 is ethically founded. Is it ethical for the Canadian government to refuse to use development aid to fund abortions abroad, especially within the sector of maternal health? This question will be answered by, first, defining; what abortion is (in terms of the medical community) and what foreign development funding is understood to be and should be. Second, the paper will discuss the ethical dilemmas that accompany an examination of a development policy, particularly the remaining impacts and power dynamics of colonial history and how that impacts the development industries priorities. Next, three varying ethical frameworks will be applied to the question of funding foreign abortions through development projects.

1 G8 Muskoka Declaration Recovery
FINAL DRAFT – FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY June 26, 2010, 10:00 G8 MUSKOKA DECLARATION RECOVERY AND NEW BEGINNINGS Muskoka, Canada, 25-26 June 2010 1. We, the Leaders of the Group of Eight, met in Muskoka on June 25-26, 2010. Our annual summit takes place as the world begins a fragile recovery from the greatest economic crisis in generations. 2. What binds the G8 together is a shared vision that major global challenges must and can be addressed effectively through focus, commitment and transparency, and in partnership with other concerned members of the global community. The G8 has demonstrated the capacity to design credible approaches to meet the challenges of our times. For over thirty years, it has shown that its collective will can be a powerful catalyst for sustainable change and progress. At Muskoka in 2010, we are focussing on an effective agenda to address key challenges in development, international peace and security, and environmental protection. 3. This economic crisis exposed and exacerbated vulnerabilities already embedded in integrated global economies, development efforts, and collective security. Progress is being made, through the work of the G20, towards the sustainable recovery of our global economic and financial system. For development, a decade of policy commitments and joint efforts with our partners has brought significant progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), but both developed and developing countries must do more; meanwhile, the crisis has jeopardized advancement toward meeting some of the 2015 targets. Renewed mutual commitments are required. We must also ensure that the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and organized crime, as well as many other challenges faced by states to address their security vulnerabilities, including climate change, remain at the forefront of public policy.

13 Annex I the G8 Muskoka Initiative: Maternal, Newborn and Under-Five
Annex I The G8 Muskoka Initiative: Maternal, Newborn and Under-Five Child Health3 Muskoka, Canada, June 26, 2010 1. Principles: The Initiative is based on a set of core principles for long-lasting results: · ensuring sustainability of results; · building on proven, cost-effective, evidence-based interventions; · focussing in the countries with the greatest needs while continuing to support those making progress; · supporting country-led national health policies and plans that are locally supported; · increasing coherence of development efforts through better coordination and harmonization; · improving accountability; and · strengthening monitoring, reporting and evaluation. 2. Scope: The Initiative is related to MDGs 4 and 5, as well as elements of MDGs 1 (nutrition) and 6 (HIV/AIDS, malaria). The Initiative is focused on achieving significant progress on health system strengthening in developing countries facing high burdens of maternal and under-five child mortality and an unmet need for family planning. Improving maternal and under-five child health requires comprehensive, high impact and integrated interventions at the community level, across the continuum of care, i.e., pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, childbirth, infancy, and early childhood. 3. This Initiative includes elements such as: antenatal care; attended childbirth; post-partum care; sexual and reproductive health care and services, including voluntary family planning; health education; treatment and prevention of diseases including infectious diseases; prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV; immunizations; basic nutrition and relevant actions in the field of safe drinking water and sanitation. 4. Information: Efforts to strengthen health systems must also include improved health information systems, inter alia vital statistics registration, regular household surveys and applied research to monitor and evaluate implementation.
