South Africa hosted the fourteenth annual BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) Summit in late August 2023. One of the biggest takeaways was the agreement to admit six new member countries: Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates; they will officially join the group in January 2024. In this webinar experts will discuss what this might mean for global governance and the possible impacts for African states.

This event is co-sponsored by Georgetown University’s Africa-China Initiative and Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues.
