The Battle for the BRICS: Why the Future of the Bloc Will Shape Global Order
In the view of most countries in the BRICS grouping, the world is moving from U.S.-led unipolarity to multipolarity, with geopolitics now defined by competition among several centers of power. Yet Alexander Gabuev and Oliver Stuenkel note in their
Foreign Affairs article that any country that joins BRICS will have to grapple with key questions: Which side are they on? Will they band together with Brazil, India, and other non-aligners, or with the anti-Western faction led by China and Russia? Rather than bemoaning the emergence of the BRICS, the authors argue that the West should court those member states that have a stake in making sure that the grouping does not become an overtly anti-Western alliance.
