We have just published the first two Discussion Papers on our website! The first one by Paul Stubbs, senior research fellow at the Institute of Economics, Zagreb, addresses the historical lessons and contemporary relevance of the New International Economic Order (NIEO). The second paper by Ana Elisa Saggioro Garcia, Associate Researcher at the BRICS Policy Center and Professor at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, offers a critical assessment of the BRICS grouping by examining its trajectory, main actors, and contemporary challenges within the evolving international order.
