Abstract
Abstract2015 is a symbolic turning point for “development” as eight UN MDGs are superseded by even more SDGs with a focus on global partnerships. This paper exploits the “post-2015” mantra to ask whether the rise of the BRICS and myriad non-state actors/coalitions, let alone the difficulties of the PIIGS in the Eurozone, suggests that “development” has become passé: Does the rise of “emerging” economies/powers in the current decade mean that we need another paradigm, such as “global governance” along with “new regionalisms”? This overview seeks to identify some of the parameters of international relations/organization/law/political economy for the embryonic Palgrave Communications network for its first 5 years, informed by our new US PhD in Global Governance & Human Security at UMass Boston.

2015 is a symbolic turning point for “development” as eight UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are superseded by even more SDGs with a focus on global partnerships
This essay looks at the BRICS’s decade, the first of this century, and debates about what follows the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) after 2015. It seeks to situate the rise of the “global South” and its implications for global development/security through the analytic frameworks of global governance and comparative regionalisms
As the 2013 Human Development Report from the UNDP asserts with implications for both policy and theory: The South has risen at an unprecedented speed & scale
Summary
The day-to-day transnational dealings among individuals, firms & non-governmental organizations (NGOs) dwarf intergovernmental relations by many orders of magnitude. Aid is about cooperation rather than money per se— “alliances” as conceived by Ritchey and Ponte (2014)—as a range of flows, especially from “new” actors, is attracted to as well as from the global South including private capital, FDI, ETFs, philanthropy/FBOs, remittances and SWFs, let alone money-laundering (Shaxson, 2012); ODA by members of the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD (http:// www.oecd.org/dac) is a shrinking proportion of transnational transfers (Brown, 2011, 2013: 24–28; Sumner and Kirk, 2014) Within such dramatic global reordering, the varieties of capitalisms, state and non-state, proliferate
