BRICS+: a Wake-Up Call for the G7?

Resumen

El artículo explora si la dinámica cambiante de los BRICS influye potencialmente en la formación de bloques económicos y políticos e investiga si los BRICS+ pueden servir de contrapeso geoeconómico al G7. Evaluando el impacto de la dotación de recursos, las relaciones comerciales, los regímenes políticos y el papel de los mercados financieros de los miembros del BRICS+ en el panorama económico y político mundial, el artículo analiza la importancia geopolítica de los BRICS y las respuestas del G7. Concluimos que los BRICS sirven de llamada de atención para el G7, instando a una reevaluación de los lazos políticos y económicos ante un escenario mundial cambiante.
