      abstract = {This book explores how BRICS countries respond to, and get  involved in, large scale armed conflict. It argues that  through responding to armed conflict and deviating from the  preferred Western foreign policy, BRICS countries are  actively involved in building a multi-polar and  post-western world order. The author develops a concise  typology of response types portraying a nuanced picture of  the BRICS grouping. Responses reach from non-coercive and  cooperative multi-lateral behaviour reaching to  neo-imperial unilateralism and military intervention. The  book explains the selection of response types with  reference to six variables which refer to the proximity to  war, availability of power resources, the type of conflict,  economic interests, the BRICS normative agenda and global  humanitarian norms. Four armed conflicts in Libya, Syria,  South Sudan and the Ukraine are chosen to illustrate the  BRICS engagement with large scale armed conflicts.
