Ten Minutes On... The BRICS+ Summit in Kazan
TEN MINUTES ON…
In this episode, we dive deep into the BRICS+ summit hosted by Russia in Kazan, which is attracting global attention. While the media often frames this event as Russia's attempt to demonstrate that it's not diplomatically isolated, the reality is much more complex. The summit brings together a diverse group of countries with varying interests, agendas, and levels of enthusiasm, especially when it comes to reforming the global financial architecture and potentially introducing an alternative to the SWIFT system.
We explore the underlying dynamics and rivalries within the BRICS+ group and how the summit declaration may highlight important second-order issues. These issues reflect broader trends in international relations, with countries increasingly seeking to diversify their alliances and cooperate in ways that align with their own interests in a shifting, multipolar world.
Tune in to get a nuanced view of what's really happening behind the scenes of the BRICS+ summit and what it means for global diplomacy and economic reform.
