The new emergence of the BRICS (2.0) and the prospects for its consolidation in the international system

Authors

Keywords:

BRICS, multipolarity, Global South, governance, South-South cooperation

Abstract

The BRICS group has become an alternative that disputes the hegemony of the West in global financial governance, through concrete initiatives for the benefit of its members, such as the New Development Bank. Its recent expansion in 2024, reflects a growing interest produced by this initiative and its noticeable consolidation as a representative of the Global South. Likewise, it invites to analyze cooperation possibilities for its members in other areas, as well as to examine the difficulties they face in strengthening this bloc.
