- Contents
- Initially conceptualized as an investment label by the US bank Goldman Sachs in 2001, BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) has more and more become a political grouping that is pushing to influence the international agenda. While some scholars see it as an anti-hegemonic bloc that is directed against the dominance of the West and particularly the US, others see it as a mere 'coalition of interest' of very different members with different goals and visions.
The seminar will examine the international positioning of this emerging powers club and ask about the strengths and weaknesses of the BRICS. What do the member countries have in common, where do they differ? Is BRICS a coherent grouping at all? How does BRICS want to shape the new world order? What economic policies do the BRICS countries pursue and which economic problems do they face?
The seminar will be structured into 3 blocks: 1) the phenomenon of BRICS - economic development and political positions of the group; 2) the BRICS member countries and their bilateral and multilateral relations; 3) the BRICS in international politics.
