Los estados BRICS (Brasil, Rusia, India, China y Suráfrica) como potencias emergentes se han posicionado como los actores internacionales que lideran regionalmente y conjuntamente están retando al liderazgo unilateral del planeta. Este artículo argumenta que el prospecto de ser un estado de los BRICS corrobora a cada nación para proyectarse como un world political player. Pero, esto puede torpedear la proyección de posesionarse como líder regional como en el caso brasilero en la región suramericana. Otros factores como la influencia de las economías, aspectos políticos y militares extra-regionales podrían contribuir en el decline y posiblemente en el constreñimiento de la consolidación de Brasil como líder de la región. Para ilustrar esta propuesta este artículo hace uso del modelo geopolítico de Modelski que ayuda a explicar la emergencia y caída de potencias mundiales. La propuesta de este modelo está combinado con elementos de la teoría de posicionamiento, Positioning Theory. La evidencia está compuesta de un conjunto de datos cualitativos y se emplea análisis cualitativo de contenido para la interpretación de la data

Amílcar Lopes Cabral was an African intellectual revolutionary trained in Portuguese Marxism, who made a significant contribution to the independence movement of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde islands.Amílcar Lopes Cabral was an African intellectual revolutionary trained in Portuguese Marxism, who made a significant contribution to the independence movement of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde islands. In his monumental Postcolonialism: An Historical Introduction, Robert J.C. Young says: 'From the perspective of African Socialism . . . the greatest figure of those who were forced to resort to violence in order to achieve liberation was from neither a Francophone nor an Anglophone, but a Lusophone culture: Amilcar Cabral' (2003: 283). Born in Bafat, Guinea Bissau on 12 September 1924, Cabral attained his elementary education in Infante Don Henrique primary school in the town of Mindelo, Cape Verde. His father, Juvenal Cabral, was a mulatto from the Cape Verde islands. The people of Cape Verde archipelago, unlike those of Guinea Bissau, were mulattos whom the Portuguese assimilated with their hegemonic cultural practices.Growing up under Portuguese colonialism, Cabral experienced at first hand the oppression of the common masses of Cape Verde. The colonial regime of Portugal's fascist dictator Antonio de Oliveira Salazar created a virtual hell for the working classes of Cape Verde. This was the time when the seeds of revolution started germinating in young Cabral. He assumed the name Labrac, and began his political activities of resistance during his school days. Cabral graduated from the University of Lisbon in 1950 as a colonial Agronomy engineer. During university days, he founded revolutionary student movements and proposed active resistance to the ruling dictatorship of Portugal. In Lisbon he met several African students from Mozambique and Angola and inculcated the ideas of Third-World nationalism in them.

“…In the past decade academic analysts, political commentators, and politicians have all, in various ways, commented on the rise of new powers and the implications of this phenomenon for global governance (Duggan, ; Hurrell, ). While much of the ensuing speculation has focused on the rise of individual states such as China and India the coalition constituted by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa has featured prominently in these analyses.…”

The rising power of the BRICS is now at the centre of debates about the future of global governance. Despite the consensus that the political, economic and strategic differences between the BRICS trump the commonalities, the BRICS have managed a level of cooperation that has exceeded expectations. This has led to inquiries about their influence on several policy domains, especially global finance. However, less attention has been given to the role of the BRICS in global climate governance, especially in the aftermath of the Paris climate agreement in 2015. Following the Paris Agreement, and the US' withdrawal, this paper examines the capacity of the BRICS to re‐shape global climate governance. Based on an analysis of the emissions profile of the BRICS, and multilateral and bilateral meetings between BRICS countries since 2015, it argues that while significant obstacles to the BRICS acting as a coalition remain, there are areas that can be identified where cooperation could be scaled up in coming years.
