The Emergence of BRICS and Its Political Dynamics

The BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—were originally seen as a promising collective that could redefine global economics. However, the recent alignment of these countries under Putin raises concern, as they appear to challenge the democratic principles upheld by the West. While the concept of BRICS was intended to symbolize emerging economies gaining representation, the actual political dynamics surrounding their meetings suggest a deeper discomfort and potential division within global governance frameworks. There is a growing belief that BRICS lacks a coherent purpose beyond mere symbolism, as the unity among member countries continues to falter.
