Abstract
This edition emerges in the context of major development in the evolution of BRICS in 2025. It is dedicated to ideas about consolidation of BRICS agency in various ways. The BRICS Summit in July 2025 held in Brazil focused on ways that the BRICS forum could be a catalyst for strengthening coordination among countries of the global south in the search for a more inclusive and sustainable governance. The focus was on seven forms of governance: political, security, economic, financial, cultural and people-to-people cooperation. These are crucial for the global south to emerge fully from the margins of a western-dominated world in order to contribute fully to the making of a better work for all and better lives for the people.
