BRICS Expansion Signals Rise of Global South in New World Order

Global South Asserts New Voice in Geopolitics as BRICS Expands Influence

By Layla Karim

Theme: A shifting global power structure is emerging as the BRICS bloc—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—expands its economic and diplomatic footprint, challenging Western-led institutions and reshaping global trade and governance.

Quote: “The world is no longer unipolar. We are witnessing the rise of a multipolar order where the Global South is no longer a passive observer,” said Naledi Pandor, South Africa’s Minister of International Relations.

Details:

  • At the recent BRICS summit in Johannesburg, six new countries—including Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Argentina—were invited to join the bloc, signaling a strategic pivot toward energy-rich and emerging economies.
  • The expanded BRICS now represents over 46% of the global population and nearly 30% of global GDP, according to IMF data.
  • China and Russia are pushing for a de-dollarization agenda, promoting trade in local currencies and exploring a BRICS-backed digital currency.

Nut Graph (What’s at Stake): The expansion of BRICS is more than symbolic. It reflects a growing dissatisfaction with Western-dominated institutions like the IMF and World Bank. If successful, the bloc could redefine global trade flows, energy alliances, and diplomatic norms—posing a direct challenge to U.S.-led multilateralism.
