China, Africa, and BRICS

This paper will look at the changing association between China, Africa, and BRICS in the process of building a multipolar world order using a constructivist approach. Beyond materialist views, the paper lays stress on the importance of sharing ideas, norms, and identities in the context of international collaboration. The relations that China practices with the African states are not purely economically motivated, but a discourse of South-South solidarity, development cooperation, and anti-Western domination is created between the two countries. In the BRICS context, such contacts are additionally institutionalized, which is a common desire to change the international frameworks of governance and move towards an inclusive international system. The qualitative research methodology implies that the research will be based on a selection of documents, including official statements, policy papers, BRICS summits declarations, and forums of cooperation between China and Africa. It also uses secondary sources like scholarly sources and master analysis to explain the meanings and interpretations that are given to these relationships.
