Methodologically, as a theory-based case study that integrates exploration with illustration and explanation, an analytical review of Anglophone academic BRICS education literature combines with contents and discourse analysis of BRICS cooperation documents from 2009-2017. While the mainstream international and comparative education literature, embedded in (neo)realist international relations theory, limits itself to individual BRICS member country case studies, a critical approach associated with counter-dependency theory in conjunction with SSC as an analytical category transcends methodological nationalism by exploring common agendas, projects, relations and potential synergies generated within BRICS as an analytical unit. While a more pronounced and assertive BRICS SSC agenda has emerged over time, the findings do not permit to unambiguously conclude that BRICS education cooperation produces a counter-structure to the neoliberal global governance of education. However, we nonetheless perceive BRICS education cooperation as contributing to building a counterdependency structure. Future empirical research will have to inquire about the de facto implementation of this agenda.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Данная статья, в основу которой лег анализ довольно спорных толкований Буэнос-Айресского плана действий, нацелена на изучение в первом приближении итогов реализации программы развития БРИКС, прежде всего в области образования как примера сотрудничества по линии Юг-Юг. В методологическом плане автор опирался на теоретически подкрепленное кейс-исследование с использованием широкого круга примеров и пояснений. Аналитический обзор англоязычной академической литературы по проблематике образования в странах БРИКС в данном случае был объединен с анализом документальной базы по вопросам сотрудничества стран БРИКС в период с 2009 по 2017 г. Хотя основная международная и компаративистская образовательная литература, встроенная в (нео) реалистическую теорию международных отношений, по-прежнему ограничивается изучением примеров отдельных стран БРИКС, использование критического подхода, связанного с теорией контрзависимости в контексте сотрудничества Юг-Юг, позволяет обойти методологическую «близорукость» через выявление общих повесток, проектов, интеракций и потенциальных синергий, формируемых в рамках БРИКС в качестве аналитических инструментариев. На фоне формирования более явной и убедительной повестки дня БРИКС как примера сотрудничества Юг-Юг достигнутые результаты все же еще не позволяют с уверенностью и однозначно утверждать, что сотрудничество БРИКС в области образования создает контрструктуру неолиберальной глобальной системе образования. Тем не менее образовательный вектор сотрудничества БРИКС воспринимается автором как способствующий построению подобной структуры контрзависимости. В этой связи фокус внимания будущих эмпирических исследований должен быть нацелен на анализ результатов фактической реализации заявленной повестки дня.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>BRICS</kwd><kwd>counter-dependency</kwd><kwd>development</kwd><kwd>education</kwd><kwd>South</kwd><kwd>South cooperation</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>БРИКС</kwd><kwd>контрзависимость</kwd><kwd>развитие</kwd><kwd>образование</kwd><kwd>сотрудничество Юг</kwd><kwd>Юг</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><award-id></award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Abdenur, A.E.
