How solid can a union of countries be if the majority of them do not have common borders? Is it possible that global processes will lead to the situation when over time the cooperation between the member countries dies out, as it sometimes happens with regional associations? Are there any plans to reinforce a political element in BRICS and add a military aspect to these countries interaction? - In the modern world the factor of common borders does not play a defining role. On the contrary, global processes encourage us to join efforts as challenges and problems become shared. In the BRICS case we see a whole set of coinciding strategic interests. First of all, this is the common intention to reform the international monetary and financial system. In the present form it is unjust to the BRICS countries and to new economies in general. We should take a more active part in the IMF and the World Banks decision-making system. The international monetary system itself depends a lot on the US dollar, or, to be precise, on the monetary and financial policy of the US authorities. The BRICS countries want to change this.
