| Summary |
The BRICS (China, Russia, India, Brazil, and South Africa), an exclusive international club, perceive an ongoing global power shift and contest the West's pretensions to permanent stewardship of the liberal economic order. Against expectations, they have exercised collective financial statecraft with remarkable success to seek reforms, influence, and leadership roles |
