As BRICS nations assert their collective weight on the global stage, they are actively participating in the unmaking of a world order that has long been defined by Western hegemony. This expansion underscores BRICS’ commitment to adapt and modernise in the face of a multipolar world order, attracting interest from various countries, including some traditional US allies. BRICS represents a significant departure from the US-led international order, uniting against Western failures in global crisis management. Nonetheless, the BRICS countries’ assertive stance and their pursuit of greater representation and influence in global affairs signify a significant challenge to the American-led international order. This shift away from a unipolar world order led by the United States reflects the changing dynamics of global power.
