Brazil, together with India and South Africa, now represent a renewed source of international pressure, views, and resources. IBSA has brought together these three developing nations, that are regional powerhouses, therefore simultaneously opening space for affirmative multilateralism, intra-South political coordination. They countries have been dedicating special attention to the rule-making process of global governance agendas and institutions. While broadening and deepening the scope of their responsibilities and commitments to other developing countries, they have been crafting innovative forms of inter-state collaboration. The chance to sit together at the UNSC in 2011 as non-permanent members became a major opportunity for IBSA. During this year, this group was able to share and reinforce the values and perspectives on world politics and security in an effort to strengthen a Southern critical appraisal of the post-cold war liberal peace concepts and prescriptions. Whereas western powers have downplayed the importance of reviewing its methods and procedures UNSC, IBSA countries have transmitted their special concern with the flaws of UN bureaucratic coordination, the needs for improvement in the links between SC, the GA and the executive boards of the UN agencies. Brazil has become especially concerned with the question of legitimacy of the use of force in international intervention as well as the humanitarian impact of military action and the importance of solutions which sought equilibrium between peace, solidarity, sovereignty and sustainable development."Assistance and cooperation, rather than coercion must be our watchwords", have been Brazil's pledge at the UNCS.

O estudo tem por objetivo investigar a relação entre os indicadores de governança do Banco Mundial e os indicadores de desenvolvimento socioeconômico nos países que formam o Brics. Foram utilizadas bases de dados de organizações internacionais do período de 2005 a 2012, aplicando-se a análise de dados em painel. Os resultados indicam relações positivas entre o IDH e os indicadores Eficácia do Governo e Controle da Corrupção e entre o PIB e o indicador Controle da Corrupção, além de uma relação negativa entre o PIB e os indicadores Voz e Responsabilização e Estabilidade Política. A capacidade explicativa das dimensões dos indicadores de governança em relação ao IDH é maior quando comparada à das dimensões dos indicadores de governança relacionadas com o PIB, o que pode ser entendido pelo fato de que o segundo indicador trata apenas da dimensão econômica, enquanto o IDH engloba outros fatores. ; The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the World Bank's governance indicators and the socioeconomic development indicators of the Brics countries. The databases of a number of international organizations corresponding to the 2005-12 period were assessed using panel data analysis. The results suggested a positive relationship between the HDI and the Government Effectiveness and Control of Corruption indicators, and between GDP and the Control of Corruption indicator, as well as a negative relationship between GDP and the Voice and Accountability and the Political Stability indicators. The explanatory power of the governance indicator dimensions in relation to the HDI is greater when compared to that of the dimensions of governance indicators related to GDP, which can be understood by the fact that the latter index only deals with the economic dimension whereas the HDI takes other factors into account. ; El estudio tiene como objetivo investigar la relación entre los indicadores mundiales de gobernabilidad del Banco Mundial y los indicadores de desarrollo socioeconómico en los países del Brics. Se utilizaron bases de datos de organizaciones internacionales del período de 2005 a 2012, aplicándose el análisis de datos de panel. Los resultados indican relaciones positivas entre el IDH y los indicadores Efectividad del gobierno y Control de la corrupción y entre el PIB y el Control de la corrupción, además de una relación negativa entre el PIB y los indicadores Participación y monitoreo y Efectividad del gobierno. La capacidad explicativa de las dimensiones de los indicadores de gobernanza en relación al IDH es mayor cuando se compara con las dimensiones de los indicadores de gobernanza relacionados con el PIB, lo que puede ser entendido por el hecho de que el PIB trata apenas de la dimensión económica, mientras que el IDH engloba otros factores.

This work analyzes the Agenda 2030 in its main potentiality to lead public policies and private actions towards a more sustainable path. At the same time it acknowledges its dependency on measurements and finance mechanisms for the Sustainable Development Goals implementation. The main argument is that public expectations face difficulties to be translated in public actions, due to, among other factors, the lack of measurement and finance mechanisms. With this purpose it starts describing what is the Agenda 2030, and how this United Nations lead international declaration is structured to be monitored and implemented by States and others multi stakeholders. Secondly it analyses the importance of the measurements to address critical social environmental challenges and to allow comparison between the achievements of each member state. Third it remarks the role-played by international financial institutions, by international investment and by the private sector in general. Forth, the article highlights the drawbacks the methodology of goals can represent when used to overcome collective challenges marked by moral issues and diffuse impacts, being highly dependent on measurements and finance tools. The methodology chosen was the descriptive and normative, the techniques used were documentary, legislative and bibliographic research.
