“…This is because the self-esteem and prestige gained by states as a result of their inclusion in such groups also contribute to third countries’ positive perception of the G clubs in terms of their credibility and efficacy. (Parlar Dal 2019a , 2019b ; Parlar Dal and Dipama 2019 ).…”

“…Habib (2009) explores South African foreign policy, and Appe (2017) examines the reasons why countries' development agencies favor trilateral cooperation. Dal and Dipama (2019) study the policies of IBSA countries' development agencies, examining estimates of development assistance and how they disburse assistance through multilateral channels. Stuenkel (2014) compares the funding allocations of IBSA with those of established development institutions, noting that the resources allocated by IBSA are comparatively modest.…”

The IBSA Fund, which marks its 20th anniversary in 2024, has extended SouthSouth cooperation to 34 states since its establishment in 2004. This article aims to compare the recipients of bilateral development assistance from IBSA members with IBSA Fund projects’ partners. The objective is to discern the motivations behind the selection of the Fund’s project partners, assess the influence of member states on partner selection, and explore the potential benefits of including Russia and China (both BRICS and New Development Bank participants) as members. The authors analyze the structure, mechanisms, and priorities of IBSA projects, juxtaposing them with New Development Bank projects to highlight key differences and assess shortcomings. The research draws on releases and reports from development agencies, AidData databases, and online databases detailing cooperation projects of all IBSA members and the IBSA Fund. The analysis reveals that the IBSA Fund serves as an additional tool for member states in development cooperation, driven by shared opportunities and responsibilities. Partner selection appears largely motivated by the national interests of IBSA states. While both the IBSA Fund and New Development Bank espouse similar development principles, goals, and narratives, they exhibit differences in terms of development cooperation modalities, emphasis on loans versus grants, project geography, and priorities. As this makes closer cooperation between the two entities unreasonable, Russia and China, whose development assistance priorities largely align with those of the IBSA members, could still be included in the IBSA Fund mechanism, particularly if additional funding is required.

“…Alternatively, deriving from Social Identity Theory (SIT), Larson and Shevchenko (2010: 70) argue that states compare themselves with others unfavourably, which prompts them to improve their position through 'identity management strategies' by embarking upon a status-seeking process . This framework has been widely accepted and applied to analyse status-seeking behaviours of, to name a few, Norway (Wohlforth et al, 2018), Turkey (Dal & Dipama, 2019), Brazil (Larson & Shevchenko, 2014), Russia and China (Krickovic & Zhang, 2020).…”

“…These anxieties lay at the core question of this article: how can we think about, understand and theorise status anxieties of postcolonial states in international hierarchies? In the last two decades, there has been a growing interest in the foreign policies of states such as Russia, China, Brazil, Turkey and India, to name a few, within the framework of status-seeking in IR (Basrur & Sullivan de Estrada, 2017;Dal & Dipama, 2019;Larson & Shevchenko, 2014;Nayar & Paul, 2003;Stolte, 2015). However, as will be discussed below, the existing debates on status-seeking, whilst developing significant advances recently, still fail to account for and theorise status anxieties of postcolonial states and the intrinsic relation between them and existential anxieties.…”

Status-seeking practices of some states from the Global South have increasingly been studied in the status literature in International Relations. The existing debates, whilst developing significant advances recently, still fail to account for and theorise both status anxieties of postcolonial states and the intrinsic relation between them and existential anxieties. This article will address this gap through utilising an ontological security perspective on status-seeking. By focusing on subjectivities (not solely on identities as conventionally done in the status literature) and introducing subject production to the process of status-seeking, this article conceptualises status in relation to identity narratives of the subject to achieve ‘wholeness’ in hierarchical social orders. This novel post-structuralist understanding of status and status-seeking through the introduction of a Lacanian theorisation of ontological security offers an alternative perspective to approaches in status debates to understand status anxieties of postcolonial states better. The conceptual discussion will be illustrated through demonstrating Turkey’s status anxiety in relation to its paid-off debt to International Monetary Fund.
