Abstract
This chapter explores the promotion of knowledge cooperation between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). The knowledge activities considered include knowledge creation, diffusion, utilization, and sharing. The chapter introduces a knowledge assessment framework based on UNESCO knowledge society paradigm, and on available international indicators. The framework gives an index of “28 indicators.” It provides a criterion for comparing the measured values of the indicators among countries to enable identifying prioritized knowledge cooperation opportunities that bring countries together. The framework is used to investigate these opportunities between the KSA and the BRICS. It has been found that knowledge activities in KSA enjoy high enablement levels from which the BRICS can gain, while knowledge activities in the BRICS emphasize knowledge productivity from which KSA can gain. Bridging the gap between the two sides will be useful to both, and to building global knowledge societies that lead to world peace and prosperity.
