As we approach the close of 2024, the BRICS bloc stands at an exciting moment of consolidation and transformation. This 9th issue of the BRICS Academic Review reflects on this year’s critical discussions and outcomes while also looking ahead to the ongoing work that will shape the BRICS’ future.
In this issue, we focus on the evolving global governance landscape, where the BRICS continues to play an influential role. Professor Victoria Panova’s comprehensive article, Global Governance without Global Unification [pp 19-22], sets the stage by exploring the limitations of current multilateral institutions and how the BRICS can lead in fostering new models of cooperation that reflect the global majority’s aspirations.
