The Evolution and Purpose of BRICS

BRICS has evolved from a group of emerging economies into a geopolitical entity in response to U.S. foreign policy, which often perceives other nations as foes. This group, including nations like India, China, Brazil, and South Africa, emerged as a counterweight to U.S. dominance, particularly after the weaponization of the U.S. dollar and the imposition of sanctions. Many countries feel the pressure of these sanctions, leading them to explore alternative frameworks for trade and economic cooperation. As BRICS seeks to establish a new international economic architecture, the focus is on creating a multipolar world that allows nations to collaborate on their own terms without succumbing to U.S. influence.
