Analysis of the possibilities for coordinating the positions of the BRICS countries on key tasks of the international community[Анализ Возможностей Координации Позиций Стран Брикс По Ключевым Задачам Международного Сообщества]

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the initiatives and positions of the members of the BRICS and the “Group of Seven” within the framework of the “Group of Twenty”, as well as the decisions of the “Twenty” on issues historically central to the agenda. The analysis showed that, despite the presence of contradictions within the alliances and common interests between the BRICS members and some members of the G7 on a number of issues, the replacement of existing ad hoc clubs by groups of developed and developing countries does not occur. At the same time, members of the Seven more successfully used coordination within their club to resolve internal contradictions and develop a common position for joint promotion in the G20. Accordingly, strengthening the BRICS partnership, increasing the effectiveness of its own cooperation mechanisms, strengthening coordination in the G20, developing cooperation with international institutions and enhancing interaction within the existing multilateral institutions (IMF, WB, multilateral development banks) are necessary to achieve the key goal - the goals of the Five are the formation of a more democratic and just multipolar world order. Based on the analysis, recommendations were formulated to strengthen the mechanisms of interaction and promote the interests of the Russian Federation within the framework of informal global governance institutions for the chairmanship of the BRICS in 2020.
