BRICS Summit in Johannesburg: A Platform for Global South’s Voice

Delegates from major emerging economies are gathering in Johannesburg for the BRICS summit, focusing on reshaping global governance to give the world’s majority – the Global South – an equal voice in decision-making. The summit, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is addressing the current dominance of Western countries in global political and financial institutions.

Anil Sooklal, South Africa’s ambassador to BRICS, emphasized the need for a reformed global governance structure that is more equitable and inclusive. The summit is expected to explore alternative currency options to challenge the US dollar’s dominance and consider expanding BRICS to include additional countries.

Despite its growth to represent a quarter of the global economy and a fifth of global trade, BRICS has faced criticism regarding its effectiveness and achievements. However, recent developments have seen a renewed focus on making BRICS a more substantial organization that can represent the interests of its member nations.

Key issues at the summit include the potential expansion of BRICS, with differing views among current members. Brazil and India are reportedly more cautious about expansion, while Russia and China are pushing for it. Another significant topic is exploring trade in local currencies instead of the US dollar, although creating a BRICS-specific currency is viewed as unrealistic by experts.

The summit’s theme also focuses on Africa, aiming to unlock opportunities for increased trade, investment, and infrastructure development on the continent. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed support for this initiative.

Successes of BRICS include the formation of the New Development Bank and the contingent reserve arrangement. However, internal tensions, particularly between India and China, could limit the group’s potential. Some experts suggest that other international groups like the G77 or G24 might be more effective in amplifying the Global South’s voice.

The BRICS summit is seen as a critical step in asserting the presence of developing nations in global decision-making. The grouping aims to present a unified voice for the Global South, advocating for fairness and justice in international relations.
