SUMMARY:BRICS and the Global South’s Assertion
DESCRIPTION:\nA webinar jointly hosted by the Quincy Institute and the Braz
 ilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI). On August 22nd\, leaders
  from the BRICS grouping – Brazil\, Russia\, India\, China\, South Afric
 a –&nbsp\; meet for their 15th heads leaders’ summit in Johannesburg\,
  South Africa. The summit comes amidst a changing global landscape\, with 
 the United States’ global dominance slipping and the Global South largel
 y asserting nuanced and non-aligned positions on the Ukraine conflict. The
  prospect of membership expansion is expected to top the summit agenda\, w
 ith over twenty countries now having applied to join the group.&nbsp\; Eff
 orts toward de-dollarization and other potential reforms to the global fin
 ancial system will also be discussed.&nbsp\; What is the likelihood of BRI
 CS’ expansion\, and what signal would that send to the United States and
  the world? How can the grouping make further gains on development financi
 ng\, and to what extent will this complement and compete with U.S.-led ins
 titutions such as the World Bank? What are other areas for BRICS to achiev
 e concrete results moving forward? Join the Quincy Institute and the Brazi
 lian Center for International Relations (CEBRI) for answers to these quest
 ions and more.&nbsp\; The conversation will feature Sarang Shidore\, Direc
 tor of the Global South program at the Quincy Institute\, David Monyae\, d
 irector of the Centre for Africa-China Studies at the University of Johann
 esburg\, and Marta Fernández\, Program Director at the BRICS Policy Cente
