BRICS: State, Problems and Prospects

Author(s)
A. A. Kerimov
Abstract
The BRICS, which unites Brazil, Russia, India, China and the Republic of South Africa, and a number of countries, is an example of a new world order where developing countries seek greater influence in the international arena. Founded in 2006, this alliance arose in response to the desire to resist the dominance of Western powers, creating a platform for cooperation in the economic, political and cultural spheres. At the moment, the BRICS is demonstrating significant success in various areas of cooperation, but also faces serious challenges – internal contradictions between the participants and global economic instability. Nevertheless, despite these difficulties, the prospects for the BRICS look promising. With the expansion of the organization to include new States, it is becoming more influential in matters of global governance, economic recovery after the pandemic and the fight against climate change. BRICS appears to be a key player in shaping a multipolar world, where its participation in international politics and economics will become increasingly relevant in the foreseeable future.
