While BRICS’s impact in the multipolar new world order and the calendar of Türkiye’s membership are curious; The Munich Security Conference 2025 also includes attention. The most important theme at the Munich Security Conference this year was “very polarity”, while the political scientist who spoke to Haberglobal.com.tr. Umur Tugay Yücel commented on striking issues reflected from the report. 2025 Munich Security Report, BRICS countries are allocated 40 pages, Yucel said, “The report shows us that BRICS’s economic size, but also the political and strategic power of BRICS is accepted. Especially in China, India and Brazil, such as the countries of the country and the global scale,” he said.
Western alliance is weakening
How does the Western world read these new centers of power?
Yücel: “Frankly the answer to this question, Munich Security Conference President Christoph Heusgen’s closing speech is hidden in his inability to keep tears. The idea of” Europe is nothing without the West “still exists, but this year, there was a West that could not bear the weight of BRICS. The reports also express that the US-Europe alliance weakened. “
How was Türkiye’s location evaluated at the conference?
Yücel: “The proportion of those who see Türkiye as an ally in the BRICS countries is higher than NATO countries. This is very striking. Because Turkey is no longer a NATO member, but also a new multipolar system in the new multipolar system. In reports, Turkey has clearly stated that Türkiye increases its domain with its countries such as Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. In fact, the number of people who see Turkey as an ally, not threatening Türkiye in Europe, is also increasing rapidly. “
MIT President Kalin’s statements before the conference, there was an emphasis on the transition to the multipolar world. How should Türkiye’s strategic vision be shaped?
Yücel: “Both Kalin’s statements in the MIT report and his statements in the conference show that Türkiye does not know only the multipolar world order, and that it is preparing for it. In a process in which the geopolitical center shifted from Atlantic to Asia, Türkiye has the potential to integrate into this change. “
“We should not be dependent on NATO”
What are your predictions about the future of BRICS? Are they an alternative to the G7 or a different model?
Yücel: “BRICS is no longer a platform for economic cooperation. New members; Indonesia, UAE, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia has become a ‘alternative civilizations platform’. Apart from NATO, we must build a position associated with the West but not dependent on the West. “
Here is the economic power of ‘BRICS’
On the other hand, the BRICS countries have already left the G7 countries behind according to the purchasing parity. In 1995, the share of BRICS countries in the global gross national state was 16.9 percent, but the share of G7 countries was 44.9 percent. In 2023, the share of BRICS increased to 32.1 percent, while the share of the G7 fell to 29.9 percent. BRICS also dominates 26 percent of the global gross national product, 20 percent of world trade, 40 percent of cereal production and 60 percent of global mineral reserves.
