Die Welt ist voller wirtschaftlicher Allianzen mit Akronymen. Die EU, ASEAN und die G7 sind nur einige. Die EU fungiert eher als Nationalstaat, während die meisten viel lockerer sind. Die BRICS Alliance, die 2009 von Brasilien, Russland, Indien und China (daher der Name) gegründet wurde, hat signifikante Unterschiede zu den anderen.
Sein Hauptziel ist es, eine Alternative zu der bestehenden globalen Wirtschaftsordnung zu schaffen, die vom Westen/den USA dominiert wird. Insbesondere versucht es, Alternativen zum von Dollar dominierten Welthandel, Swift Interbank-Zahlungssystem und der IWF & World Bank zu schaffen.
Bisher hat es mit dieser Agenda keine großen Fortschritte gemacht. Die Rolle des US -Dollars im globalen Handel ist fest eingebettet. Die einzige andere Währung, die an Volumen/Wichtigkeit nahe kommt, ist der Euro. Da China seine Währung nicht frei erlaubt, frei zu schweben oder offene Kapitalmärkte zu haben, kann der chinesische Renminbi derzeit die internationale Rolle des Dollars derzeit nicht ersetzen.
Aber wird sich das ändern? Die derzeitige US -Verwaltung lehnt einen Großteil der alten globalen Wirtschaftsordnung ab. Ironisch, wenn man bedenkt, dass es ursprünglich geschaffen wurde. Seit 2009 haben China und Russland noch mehr Gründe, eine globale finanzielle Alternative zu wünschen, in denen die USA keine Rolle spielen. Vielleicht hilft die USA ihnen, sie zu schaffen?
As the US retreats from the post-WW2 global order it created, 22 countries are lining up to join the BRICS alliance, which seeks a new global order.

Just my take on it, but 16 years is a long time. I feel that if it was going to work, it would have worked
This is some lame propaganda right here.
Go look at the wiki and read in awe as we have the list of the same sad and tired dictatorships that we always hear about but no one cares.
Let Iran and ethiopia shake their sticks.
Is there something to be said about the US power vacume? Yes, but it’s more about localized power consolidation like possible a EU military or SEATO.
No country with any brains would join Brics unless they desperately needed the bribe money that came with it.
BRICS nations and countries joining now account for a majority of global manufacturing and population. Alongside projected population growth and make up a much larger portion of the global GDP than when founded I believe it’s around 45%
and are steadily approaching more than half of all global GDP.
A key difference here from the prior order is that this one is built on mutual co-operation. The goal isn’t to replace the dollar with another currency but balance trade with native currencies. Replacing it with a single currency gets us right back to the prior status quo. Alongside the belt and road initiative all of these countries grow their economies and GDPs without maintaining hyper-exploitative relationships with other nations. A majority of the BRICS countries and joining countries if not all have been colonised and exploited by the G7 (and others) other at one point or another.
Thus far it’s also been working and even the IMF and World bank note the difficulties of trying to compete with BRICS and especially Chinese infrastructure loans that are actively helping these countries grow their economies at an explosive pace.
It’s not a defense or military compact like NATO either.
Honneslty…look at who is in there.. no chance in hell.
Sorry but brics is not an alternative world order.
It is barely a counterweight inside a globalised world.
Brics will fail, but the us willingly giving up its influence and control of global economics and politics and letting china replace it is the dumbest thing any country has ever done in human history.
BRICS is a paper tiger, and the only reason Reddit is embellishing in the idea that BRICS will ever be more than that, is due to the anti-america circle-jerk that american redditors love to participate in.
Check again in 4 years when a blue-tie savior is in office, then suddenly this will be never mentioned again.
A few trade war skirmishes are nothing compared to the absolute hatred between those countries. Namely China/india and China/russia.
Downvote away OP, because my opinion is different than yours. Also, RE: Euro… 🤣 Even their own members couldnt all decide to use it. If Trump does decide to defund or pull out of NATO, the Euro will also be in shambles.
USA First is USA Alone.
Also, where they pull away, China moves in.
Likely it will be the CPTPP after the EU accession rather than BRICS, no one has any interest in dealing with Russia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_and_Progressive_Agreement_for_Trans-Pacific_Partnership

Russia is China’s bitch. China and India are at each others throats. SA and Brazil have their own myriad of issues and are weak on the global stage compared to other members. BRICS is not an alternative to anything as it’s basically made of shit and plywood.
There is a tale from Krylov in Russia, called the swan, the pike and the lobster.
The point is, all 3 pull a cart in 3 different directions, and it goes nowhere.
Same here, BRICS would love to have a great alternative to dollar, but no one wants all the issues of having your currency as the world reserve one
This is necessary
Just like the U.S. and Britain stood against Nazism, so the civilized world must today band together to oppose America and Israel.
The alternative, then as now, would be the end of civilization as we know it
