Growing cracks in the BRICS+ wall

The 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos highlighted a deepening divergence in how global stability is managed.

While the formalization of President Trump’s “Board of Peace” (BoP) signaled a move toward a hyper-transactional, unilateralist approach to conflict resolution, it simultaneously exposed the structural limitations of the BRICS+ alliance.

Long popularized as a major alternative to Western-led governance, BRICS+ now faces a strategic crisis. As the international system shifts toward a diplomatic trajectory defined by bilateralism and personal diplomacy, the cracks in BRICS+ are widening.
