The latest UN Human Development Report highlights that climate conditions, the inequality crisis, and increasing political polarization have led to an unprecedented level of complexity in human history. Moreover, the term “sustainable,” implying balance, is incompatible with “development,” which means moving away from balance. This highlights the importance of shifting global development goals to “responsible development,” where BRICS will play a significant role.
The 10th International Scientific-Expert Conference, Primakov Readings, held at the World Trade Center in Moscow from June 25 to 26, 2024, will focus on BRICS’ role in shaping a new global economic architecture, cooperation mechanisms among countries in Greater Eurasia, security in the Baltic region, the impact of contemporary crises on the future of European security, and the role of culture in international relations. Over the past decade, Primakov Readings has discussed global issues such as the risks of returning to confrontation, post-globalization horizons, the emergence of Eurasia, the characteristics of the post-COVID world, and more. The West’s flawed policy towards Russia results from a lack of understanding of the global changes in the balance of power in the 21st century. The main surprise for our adversaries was the extraordinary resilience of the Russian economy. I can confidently say that no other economy in the world today, not even China’s, could withstand such aggressive pressure. In these circumstances, Western experts seem increasingly out of touch with the realities of Russia.
