Report: BRICS+ likely new counterpoint to G7-led geopolitical order2.5.2024 09:05:42 CEST | Press release
Los Angeles/DNA - The expansion of the BRICS group of nations into what has informally been named BRICS+ could highlight a geopolitical shift, with the new grouping positioning itself as a counterpoint to the Western-led geopolitical order, a report published by the Luskin School of Public Affairs at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) argues.

It attributes much of the challenges facing the four countries on unsustainable economic policies which focus on the export of raw materials. Despite some improvements in terms of public goods provision - in particular regarding social and environmental public goods - these countries continue to face significant developmental challenges, ranking among the world's poorest. Titled "Political Instability and Economic Development in the Sahel: Governance in Bu
