This report considers the influence of rising powers, such as the BRICS, on future of peacekeeping and peacebuilding. It argues that the rising powers are committed to the reform of the global order and that they are pursuing a multilateral rule based global architecture that can provide the legal and political framework necessary to ensure a more equitable, enforceable and stable global order. The authors conclude by pointing out that rising powers have a strong incentive to be cautious in their approach because disruptions to the global order would harm their own economic growth and thus their own internal developmental agendas.
