Abstract

The term "economic blocs" emerged in the last century, and the BRICS bloc emerged in 2008. It includes the world's largest economies, and the name BRICS comes from the first letters of the member states that make up this bloc: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The BRICS group occupies an area estimated at about one-third of the world's land area and has a population of approximately 41.6% of the world's population. The BRICS countries aim to take on a global position commensurate with their economic capabilities and to form a pole with influence in the international system
