Since the emergence of BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) in 2001 and the rechristening to BRICS to include South Africa few years later, the group’s approach to its operations has been mixed. While there are views that the BRICS merely exists and that there is no definite framework on which it operates, advocates suggest that the group is a work in progress and that cohesion will be achieved with time. However, the recent visit of Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff to Nigeria calls for a reassessment of the activities of the BRICS as it is still not well understood whether the group’s approach to realizing its objectives is clearly defined. In other words, it does appear that the individual BRICS are pursuing bilateralism as against multilateralism.
