The Expansion of the BRICS in a World of Shifting Power Dynamics

17
February 2023
Zineb Fathi & Paolo Magri

In this episode, Paolo Magri delves into the evolving role of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa in a world of changing geopolitical landscapes.

Over the course of this podcast, we explore the emergence of the BRICS group, tracing its roots back to the early 2000s and examining the political and economic factors that brought these diverse nations together.

We then move on to the New Development Bank, formerly referred to as the BRICS Development Bank, to discuss its status and role.

Finally, we address the growing concern around the expansion of the BRICS and the potential risk for politicization.

Join us on this exploration of the BRICS in a world of shifting power dynamics, and gain a deeper understanding of one of the most important economic and political blocs in the world today.
