This chapter provides an introductory background to this book, which, as revealed by its title, ‘explores the evolving dynamics of BRICS and its implications for global peace and security’. The expansion of BRICS to BRICS+ signifies a shift in geopolitical influence, potentially reshaping global trade dynamics. However, the group faces internal challenges, including identity-driven conflicts and border disputes, particularly the India-China rivalry. To build sustainable peace, strategies such as reconceptualising identities, implementing inclusive peace initiatives, and gender mainstreaming are crucial. BRICS’ role in global security and governance is examined, highlighting its stance on the UN as the central body for global governance and its potential in addressing emerging challenges such as cybersecurity. The group’s capacity for conflict resolution and peacekeeping efforts is also discussed. Economic factors play a significant role in sustainable peace and security; these are further explored in this book. The link between sustainable peace and development is discussed, along with the impact of renewable energy consumption on BRICS economies. Equitable resource distribution is identified as a crucial factor for sustainable peace. Looking ahead, the potential of BRICS+nations to forge a new world order and their own exposure to regional hostilities also are scrutinised here. The recommendations that emerge from various authors include emphasising peace and security education, balancing regional security mechanisms with international justice, and interpreting the relations between the expanding BRICS and the West’s competing institutions in a complex geopolitical world. Geostrategy and geoeconomy are further discussed to comprehend how rivalries between non-Western powers and the Western bloc should aim at a common goal: the emergence of a balanced and fair world order through antagonist ideologies and worldviews from which divergent and contrasted stratagems could engender global peace, security and sustainable development.

摘要

This chapter provides an introductory background to this book, which, as revealed by its title, ‘explores the evolving dynamics of BRICS and its implications for global peace and security’. The expansion of BRICS to BRICS+ signifies a shift in geopolitical influence, potentially reshaping global trade dynamics. However, the group faces internal challenges, including identity-driven conflicts and border disputes, particularly the India-China rivalry. To build sustainable peace, strategies such as reconceptualising identities, implementing inclusive peace initiatives, and gender mainstreaming are crucial. BRICS’ role in global security and governance is examined, highlighting its stance on the UN as the central body for global governance and its potential in addressing emerging challenges such as cybersecurity. The group’s capacity for conflict resolution and peacekeeping efforts is also discussed. Economic factors play a significant role in sustainable peace and security; these are further explored in this book. The link between sustainable peace and development is discussed, along with the impact of renewable energy consumption on BRICS economies. Equitable resource distribution is identified as a crucial factor for sustainable peace. Looking ahead, the potential of BRICS+nations to forge a new world order and their own exposure to regional hostilities also are scrutinised here. The recommendations that emerge from various authors include emphasising peace and security education, balancing regional security mechanisms with international justice, and interpreting the relations between the expanding BRICS and the West’s competing institutions in a complex geopolitical world. Geostrategy and geoeconomy are further discussed to comprehend how rivalries between non-Western powers and the Western bloc should aim at a common goal: the emergence of a balanced and fair world order through antagonist ideologies and worldviews from which divergent and contrasted stratagems could engender global peace, security and sustainable development.
