Emerging dynamics of conflict and cooperation in a post-hegemonic age: A Kautilyan perspective on BRICS

This paper theorises international relations using the perspective of an Indian classic, Kautilya’s Arthashastra, and employs such interpretation to conceptualise BRICS (or the association of emerging economies, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.)
