Abstract

BRICS is an important international agreement that requires discussion and review both in terms of the approach of this agreement and the membership of the Islamic Republic of Iran in this agreement. Accordingly, the aim of this article is to study the role of BRICS in the new international order. In this research, descriptive-analytical and library methods have been used to collect and analyze data. The main question of the article is: From what perspective and in what way does BRICS affect the international order? The research hypothesis is based on the fact that BRICS will influence the new international order through institution-building, the creation of development banks such as the Asian Development Bank, the transition from Western liberal economics and values, reforming the structures of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, as well as the process of de-dollarization and the promotion of multipolarity.The findings of the article show that the BRICS structure can be a response to the existing imbalance in the international order and challenge the rules, norms and international agenda; this challenge is mainly realized through soft balancing instruments in various areas.
