The BRICS alliance—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—is stepping up as a megaphone for the Global South, driving economic growth and advocating for a more equitable global system, says academic expert Jiang Tianjiao.
In an exclusive interview, Jiang, associate director of Fudan University's Centre for BRICS Studies, highlighted the group's role in tackling today's 'serious challenges of global governance.' With countries recovering from economic turbulence, BRICS is pushing for sustainable development and peace by amplifying underrepresented perspectives.
'BRICS serves as a bridge for North-South cooperation,' Jiang told CGTN, emphasizing its potential to balance power dynamics in a world often dominated by traditional Western institutions. The alliance's focus on inclusive growth and regional stability could reshape everything from climate policies to trade frameworks.
Think of it like a global group project where everyone finally gets a seat at the table—no more 'quiet kid' energy for developing nations! As geopolitical tensions simmer, BRICS' collaborative model offers a fresh blueprint for multilateralism that Gen Z can root for.
