What The U.S Doesn't Understand About BRICS

What the US fails to recognize about BRICS is that it is vital for them to be recognized and their influence is paramount. Over time the economic powers are changing and more and more are emerging. These emerging economic powers would be vital in the expansion of influence if they were added to the G8. If this is done, the BRICS which are located geographically in places that the G8 isn't originally located would expand the power and influence and give countries from all over the world a voice in what the G8 does.

What doesn't the U.S. understand about BRICS?

The United States' main influence in the global economic spectrum is through its inclusion in the G8. Considering that the G8 is a group of all industrialized countries, they have come to underestimate the power and capabilities of BRICS. The U.S. has failed to understand that the fast growing economies and development that is currently taking place within all the countries that make up BRICS provides them with the potential to acquire power that will ultimately position them above the G8. The G8 and BRICS should join together to collaboratively tackle global problems.

What the U.S. Doesn't Understand About BRICS

The U.S. seems to underestimate the rising powers that make up BRICS. China is already one of the most powerful countries in the world, and the others are quickly rising to power as well. The U.S. doesn't seem to fully understand that these countries are going to be a centerpiece of the future of the world economy and the importance of joining forces with those countries to accomplish more together.

What the US doesn't understand about BRICS

While the G8 and it's participants contain much of the westernized/ developed countries of the world, what they don't understand is the concept of developING countries. While right now they hold the economic power over much of the world, the reality of a catch up is very possible. With China's booming economy and Africa's discovery of natural resources they are both, as well as many other countries in BRICS, likely to make strides economically very soon. Therefore, the G8 doesn't understand that by creating a divided world they will not hold the power for much longer. Instead, we must work together to fix the problems of our world.

What doesn’t the US understand about BRICS?

The United States’ involvement in the global economic arena (in this case, participation in the G8), makes them think that it has an understanding of how economies really impact where we are globally. What the United States fails to recognize is that BRICS represents the advanced economic development of the emerging national economies (which also plays a huge role in the global economic arena). The countries in BRICS should unite with the G8 in reference to the topic of global governance. Having these countries apart of the G8 would display the representation of those countries that are not geographically represented in the G8. The United States should develop an understanding that the economies of BRICS are just as powerful as those that are in the G8.

BRICS

The U.S. should understand how beneficial BRICS can be. Organizations like the G8 and BRICS should come together instead of being separate because more issues could be tackled if forces are combined.

What the United States does not understand about BRICS is effective strategies to benefit both the US and countries involved. As these countries grow, the US should be reaching agreements to help grow their economies, and work as an economic ally.
