Western-led order

The BRICS bloc, an expanding group of emerging economies including major players like India, Russia, and China, is currently facing significant challenges in translating its growing economic power into geopolitical influence. Recent news highlights the bloc's struggle for coherence as it has expanded to include nations across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. The ongoing Iran war is presented as an example that reveals the limits of BRICS' ability to exert collective geopolitical sway. While the bloc's expansion signifies a potential shift in global dynamics, its current difficulty in forming a unified stance underscores the complexities of challenging the established Western-led international order. The upcoming BRICS Summit in New Delhi is a critical juncture for the group to address these internal paradoxes and demonstrate its capacity for effective collective action on the world stage.
