The latest BRICS summit marked a significant transformation with the induction of six new members. Please join the Russia and Eurasia Program and the Center for International Environment and Resource Policy (CIERP) at The Fletcher School for a panel discussion about the geopolitical and economic implications of the anticipated expansion of BRICS.

How does the anticipated BRICS expansion contribute to the emergence of a multipolar world order? Could the expanded bloc pose a substantial challenge to the West-led international system? We will delve into the bloc’s challenges and aspirations, its utility for Russia and China, its ability to represent the interests of the Global South, and its internal dynamics. The panelists will include Professor Daniel Drezner, Senior Fellow Mihaela Papa, and Professor Abiodun Williams.

The event is open to the public. It is also supported by the Eurasia Club and the South Asia Society at Fletcher. Please make sure to register via myFletcher to participate in the event in person.
