The growth of BRICS marks a significant shift in the global power, challenging the traditional dominance of Western economic forces and signaling the emergence of a more multipolar world order. This paper explores the potential expansion of BRICS and its impact on geopolitical and economic dynamics worldwide. It focuses on both the strategic benefits and challenges posed by an expanded membership, emphasizing the role of BRICS in promoting economic cooperation and reforming global governance. Key issues, such as internal conflicts among member states and external geopolitical pressures, are examined, illustrating the complexities that hinder the group’s cohesion and effectiveness. Despite these obstacles, the paper identifies several opportunities for BRICS to evolve and further its influence. It argues that while BRICS faces significant challenges, its continued growth has the potential to reshape international relations and foster a more inclusive global governance system. The insights gained from this research could help inform strategic efforts to strengthen the position of emerging economies in the global marketplace and enhance their influence in shaping international economic policies.
