This chapter discusses the complex challenges that the conglomerate of states, widely labelled as BRICS, faces and/or the areas in which it needs to improve to take up a leading position in global economics and growth. Here, it seems necessary to analyse the status of the original founding members and their perspectives on global politics, and consider how to manage the discrepancy between an initial idea and the daily political and diplomatic routine. To understand the inclusive and exclusive nature of BRICS, this chapter shares insights on what this alliance brings to the table, what future members may demand and/or look for, if such expectations can potentially be kept, and what kind of threats may arise as a consequence of disappointment. The conclusion of this chapter may offer an explicit hint about the joining country’s self-conception, the inner political tasks to master, and the global political impact that BRICS creates.
