Abstract

This study examines the pivotal role of BRICS in the global shift from a unipolar order to a multipolar framework, where emerging powers like China, India, and Russia are reshaping geopolitical and economic landscapes. Through its initiatives and collaborative projects, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, BRICS exemplifies a collective effort to redefine traditional power structures and foster new forms of global interaction. To better understand these dynamics, the research incorporates a bibliometric analysis of academic contributions on multipolarity, employing VOSviewer software to map trends and thematic connections within the field. By analyzing co-citation networks and identifying high-frequency terms, the study highlights the central nodes of scholarly debate, illustrating the growing academic interest in the transformative impact of BRICS. This approach not only underscores the significance of BRICS as a driver of global change but also demonstrates how tools like VOSviewer can provide a deeper, data-driven perspective on the complexities of the multipolar transition. The findings reveal how international cooperation and emerging alliances are redefining the contours of global governance and economic influence.
