Abstract: In the first decade of the new millennium, in response to contemporary global developments, (such as power shifts following the end of the Cold War and the crisis of globalisation), the BRICS group was formed. This informal coalition of countries can be regarded as a new phenomenon in international relations, particularly in terms of the status of the cooperating countries, the form of their cooperation, and, above all, their ambitions and goals. The functioning of BRICS in the global context remains a topical issue in both print and electronic media. This article aims to familiarise readers with the circumstances surrounding the formation of this group, its global position, development and institutional structure, as well as the geopolitical and geoeconomic aspects of its functioning.

Keywords: BRICS, global order, integration, multipolarity, geopolitics
