BRICS in the International Order: Liberators or Spoilers?

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Brief Description

The round table will explore how the BRICS organization fits into the new multi-polar world order. Will joining an organization headed by revisionist powers Russia and China mean that its other members, such as India, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, among others, will also challenge the Western-led world order in favor of Eurasian regional blocs? Will they play the part of mediators with the West? And do the Eurasian members see BRICS as a liberator from the Western model or a tool to maximize their advantages in it?
