BPC Opina: “A Semantic Analysis of the BRICS Summit Declarations”

In the ninth episode of BPC Opina, Professor Sérgio Veloso, from the Institute of International Relations (IRI) and coordinator of BRICS-Urbe, analyzed the evolution of the BRICS Summit Declarations.

He highlighted the transformation of the group: from a coalition originally focused on development issues to a major player on the global geopolitical stage. This shift raises a fundamental question: in the group’s declarations, which dimension prevails—the traditional development agenda or the project of reforming the global order?

The full analysis is available in the study “Between Development and Geopolitics: A Semantic Analysis of the BRICS Summit Declarations,” published on the BRICS Policy Center website.
