This review examines humanitarian governance, defined as the increasingly organized and internationalized attempt to save the lives, enhance the welfare, and reduce the suffering of the world's most vulnerable populations. Political scientists and international relations scholars are only now beginning to explain this rapidly growing global governance of humanity, which is particularly evident in the developing literatures on humanitarian intervention, emergency relief, peacebuilding, and refugee protection. As they increasingly engage this relatively unexplored area of global life, political scientists are using the familiar analytics of the global governance literature to explain the origins, design, and effectiveness of this collective activity. This essay, though, interjects an alternative perspective, one that draws from critical theory, to widen the research agenda of the study of humanitarian governance. Specifically, the essay raises six central questions: What kind of world is being imagined and produced? What accounts for the tremendous growth of humanitarian governance over the last century? Who governs? How is humanitarian governance organized and accomplished? What are the principal techniques of control? By what authority do humanitarians govern and what do they do with that authority?

"Despite the impressive economic growth achieved by the BRICS, as discussed earlier ('Growth factors and policy challenges'), each state in this group is marked by deficiencies in policy performance, some of which are common to all, some of which are country-specific. These deficiencies constitute major challenges to be addressed by these states' governments if they are to yield long-term gains from this economic growth. The questions posed by this study include: What are the prospects for each state of closing the gap on these shortcomings? Which among them are most (or least) likely to steer the course of development in a sustainable manner and implement effective policy change?" (contract)
