Session “BRICS Reshaped: New Forms but Meaning”

Session “BRICS Reshaped: New Forms but Meaning”, May 22, 2024 In 2024, the “Core Five” was enriched by the new members. Having encompassed states of the Middle East and North Africa, BRICS gained more opportunities to influence the global politics and world economy to the benefit of the World Majority, or the Global South. Similarly, this expansion leads to a unity of countries so different in their national circumstances that keeping this group together might become a challenge as well. While BRICS had been a diverse association before, it has become more complex. GDP per capita, sizes of the population, cultures, religions and other parameters seem disparate. Let alone the variances in needs and issues of concern that range from soil erosion and water shortages to poverty and high inflation rates. It is essential that BRICS elaborate a paradigm of being a BRICS state to ensure a smooth integration of the newcomers and still keep the door open for others to join. Moscow, Russia
