Prospects for the Development of the «BRICS Plus» Association

Popova N.V.

Abstract

Analyzing the prospects of executing the new BRICS+ format, the author argues that the further expansion of BRICS should not progress by way of inviting new members. Rather the organization should deepen co-operation within the already established alliances, practicing the so called «integration of integrations». Pursuing this policy, this model of integration could become a platform for BRICS+ and eventually form a perimeter of a non-American zone of economic activities in the world.

Keywords

BRICS+, an informal association, multipolar world, non-American zone of interaction, sanctions policy.
