BRICS Rising (Paperback)

Paperback. The bloc reshaping the world order. Are you ready?For decades, the global balance of power revolved around the United States, the G7, and the dominance of the U.S. dollar. Today, that landscape is changing faster than at any point since the end of the Cold War.The rise of the BRICS is one of the defining geopolitical and economic developments of the 21st century.In 2024, the BRICS nations account for approximately 41.4% of global GDP (PPP), surpassing the G7's share of around 29%. With the addition of Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Indonesia, the bloc now represents nearly half of the world's population, controls a substantial share of global energy production, and continues expanding its influence across trade, finance, technology, and international diplomacy.But the numbers tell only part of the story.Behind the headlines lies a far more complex reality.BRICS is not a unified superstate.Its members compete as much as they cooperate.China seeks greater global influence.India pursues strategic autonomy while strengthening ties with both the West and the Global South.Russia looks to BRICS as an economic and diplomatic lifeline under Western sanctions.Brazil and South Africa balance domestic priorities with international ambitions.The bloc is growing-but so are its internal contradictions.This book provides a rigorous, evidence-based examination of the world's most influential emerging geopolitical alliance.Drawing on economic data, international relations research, trade statistics, and geopolitical analysis, it explains what BRICS is, what it wants to achieve, and how its rise could reshape global power over the coming decades.Rather than relying on political narratives or sensational predictions, it separates measurable facts from speculation, offering readers a balanced understanding of one of the most important strategic developments of our time.Inside you'll discover: Whether you're interested in geopolitics, international economics, finance, energy markets, or global security, this book provides the context needed to understand why BRICS has become one of the most closely watched alliances in modern history.As global power shifts eastward and new economic partnerships emerge, the decisions made by BRICS nations will increasingly influence international trade, supply chains, investment, diplomacy, and the balance of power for decades to come.A rigorous, data-driven analysis updated to 2025-essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the new multipolar world and the forces reshaping the global order.
