With the two expansions in 2011 and 2023 more developing countries became its members. Such a coalition devised a strategical move from unipolarity to multipolarity in global order. However, no proper attention is given to this grouping considering it as a "loose association. " The main objective of this chapter is thus to explore the evolution of BRICS+ countries, its various interactions within the group and with other international bodies, and its role in the context of conflicts of interests and Russia-Ukraine Crisis. Using doctrinal methodology's analytical and critical methods, the chapter explains the significance of this grouping. The study finds that BRICS+ is an effective body for the Global South in order to make a strong stance in the global scenario. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
