With an intensification of globalization a vast majority of the under-developed states are experiencing a high level of economic growth due to their economic relationship with the developed states. At the same time there has been a lack of significant economic relationships between the developing countries. Therefore, this article explores the potential of a South-South economic relationship by evaluating the case studies of India and Brazil. I initially identify the causal factors that bought about a structural change within the economies of these two nations. Post this, I evaluate the changes in the global economy that have made such an economic cooperation more important now than ever before. Finally, I identify the areas in which these two states can expand their economic relationship and conclude with the potential of such an economic relationship for the future of the South-South Cooperation initiative.
