BRICS From an acronym of economic power to a political club without cohesion
This analysis strikes the "vein" of modern geopolitical reality: the difference between size and functionality. In 2026, BRICS+ resembles a giant that has gained tremendous mass but is still searching for its nervous system.
As correctly pointed out, de-dollarization is not a "Big Bang" explosion, but a process of erosion. The dollar is not threatened by a rival currency that will defeat it in an "open field," but by the gradual abandonment of the transactional habits that kept it at the top.
Are the BRICS the new global superpower or just a "political club" with internal contradictions? 💡 We analyze the reality of BRICS in 2026. While the numbers and geography are impressive, the lack of institutional cohesion and the China-India rivalry prevent the creation of a real governance mechanism. Why does a common currency remain a utopia, and how can "punitive" US rhetoric act as an accelerator for de-dollarization?
🔍 What you will see in the analysis:
Symbol vs. Mechanism: Why it’s easy to take a summit photo but difficult to build a central bank.
The Currency Paradox: Why no major BRICS economy is ready to surrender its sovereignty.
De-dollarization in Practice: The "silent" routes (swaps, bilateral trade) that bypass the dollar.
China & India: The missing backbone. Can the two giants truly cooperate?
The "Self-Fulfilling Prophecy": How threats of tariffs push the Global South away from the West.
💡 The Conclusion:
BRICS is winning as an alternative center of gravity but losing as a governance tool. The multipolarity they advocate brings more players, but also more friction. In the end, their success will not be judged by their population, but by whether they can produce rules that the rest of the world will trust.
