Transformation in world order has
traditionally followed conflict among states. The established international institutional
framework exemplifies this well, having resulted from the major conflicts of
the twentieth century. Over the last decade, however, large emerging economies
have begun to play increasingly significant and active roles in the global
arena, ushering in a new power dynamic. On 5-7 March 2008, The Centre for
International Governance Innovation (CIGI) convened a workshop of experts in
Cancún, Mexico, to discuss the economic diplomacy of B(R)ICSAM countries
generally, and the case of the Heiligendamm Dialogue Process
(HP) in particular. Discussion centred on the underlying deficiencies of the G8 in terms of its
legitimacy, efficiency, and representation within the international system. The workshop was part of the
multi-year BRICSAM project at CIGI, which examines the emerging powers' role in
the shifting global economic order and the corresponding need for change in
international regimes.
