The BRICS Research Group<br />
The concept of the “BRICS” refers to the large emerging countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China and<br />
South Africa. Today, the annual stand-alone summits of their leaders, which started in 2009, embrace<br />
a broad range of high-level issues requiring global governance, such as economics and finance, trade<br />
and investment, health, food and agriculture, development, energy, environment, climate change,<br />
social progress, peace, security and international institutional reform.<br />
Led by Marina Larionova of Russia’s Center for International Institutions Research at the Russian<br />
Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration and John Kirton of Canada’s<br />
University of Toronto, the BRICS Research Group aims to serve as a leading independent source of<br />
information and analysis on the BRICS institutions, issues and its members’ underlying interactions.<br />
Together with international partners from the BRICS countries, the BRICS Research Group focuses<br />
on the work of the BRICS and diplomacy within the group as a plurilateral international institution<br />
operating at the summit level. Particular attention is paid to the relationship and reciprocal influence<br />
of the BRICS with other leading global governance institutions such as the G7, the <strong>G20</strong> and those<br />
of the United Nations galaxy.<br />
Documentation from the BRICS and relevant research and reports are published on the BRICS<br />
Information Centre <strong>web</strong>site at www.brics.utoronto.ca. The BRICS Research Group also conducts<br />
analyses of the compliance of the BRICS members with their summit commitments. It also publishes<br />
relevant scholarly works and books.<br />
