Region: Latin America-Caribbean
Policy Brief #54 / 2024
ShortInteraction between Latin America and BRICS promises to be mutually enriching
ShortBRICS intends to turn itself into one of the most articulated voices of all the Global South, which so far remains grossly underrepresented within most multilateral international institutions
ShortThe true multilateralism and international cooperation promoted by organizations such as BRICS provides the world with an opportunity for better development
ShortThe fundamental challenge for BRICS summits is to shift the focus from rather general political statements to specific proposals and solutions that reflect the fundamental interests of developing nations, which have long been underrepresented in global and regional governance
ShortIt is crucial for BRICS women to rethink and reconceptualise existing paradigms, introducing new perspectives to effectively address gender issues and promote sustainable empowerment for all women
ShortThe presence of this dialectic, as we see in the example of the development of BRICS, will contribute to the persistence of uncertainty in international politics and the world economy, which will not allow for a clear formulation of strategic objectives, either at the national or international levels
ShortStriking a balance between quantitative and qualitative development is the key challenge for BRICS in the coming years, which will determine its efficiency and positioning
ShortBRICS today is not only in great demand, it is also simply a “fashionable” project. However, this fashion for BRICS creates excessively high expectations with regards to the results of its work. This is precisely what poses the main danger for the group
ShortBRICS – and this is its most important distinguishing feature – is precisely an association without a hegemon
