18. Breton wood vs. BRICS+
 Globalization and/or Regionalism

19.  The old global financial order is, well, old. Established in 1944
and named after the New Hampshire town where the
agreements were drawn up, the Bretton Woods system
created an international basis for exchanging one currency for
another. It also led to the creation of the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) and the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, now known as the World
Bank. The former was designed to monitor exchange rates
and lend reserve currencies to nations with trade deficits, the
latter to provide underdeveloped nations with needed capital
— although each institution's role has changed over time.
Each of the 44 nations who joined the discussions contributed
a membership fee, of sorts, to fund these institutions; the
amount of each contribution designated a country's economic
ability and dictated its number of votes.

20.  The significance of international trade was highlighted
by the leaders of the BRICS group of countries as they
met for their Sixth Summit in Fortaleza, Brazil in July,
2014. The BRICS group, made up of Brazil, Russia,
India, China and South Africa, came together calling
for an Action Plan for advancing its work on trade and
investment.
 With a cumulative global trade of 20 per cent and
generating more than 40 per cent of global economic
growth, the BRICS countries, and India specifically as
a prominent global leader in trade, are poised to
strengthen their relationship through intra-BRICS
trade.
