Monitoring Desk: “Any multinational alliance that does not have the patronage of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or Five-Eyes is considered an ‘adversary’ by the Global North instead of a global partner, therefore, BRICS is not an exception”.
The writer of an article titled “From Bretton Woods to the Kazan Declaration,” which was published in Express Tribune here on Thursday, observed this.
The writer Shazia Anwer Cheema believes that BRICS is a new dawn for the global system. However, this does not mean that the world is going to divide itself again into Left-Right blocs, and the shift from the old-world order to a new one will not be sudden. She is of the view that the post-Bretton Woods system lasted for 80 years, and its replacement by any new system such as BRICS will need two to three decades.
She also believes that BRICS is not based on “Eurasianism ideology,” as Westerners claim; rather, it is based on the principle of equality, globalization, and the concept of a multi-nodal world.
Challenging the protectionist approach introduced by western system for forming economic dominance by few, BRICS offers a chance for everybody to play a role in global affairs, believes the writer.
