On this episode of New Order, we speak to Professor Marta Fernandez, the former director of the BRICS Policy Center in Brazil. She discusses Donald Trump’s tariffs on BRICS nations and US interference in Brazil’s elections, the US’ kidnapping of President Maduro of Venezuela and how much Brazil’s Lula Da Silva is to blame, the US’ targeting of Cuba and Brazil being increasingly surrounded by US client states, the revival of the Monroe Doctrine to expel China from Latin America, BRICS’ move to build alternative payment systems and pursue de-dollarization, India’s rare-earths deal with Brazil and the threat to Brazil’s ambitions for a multipolar world, and much more.

New Order with Afshin Rattansi will trace how India and its allies sit at the center of a transformation in world history. Power is moving, alliances are shifting, and the rules of trade, technology, and security are being rewritten. New Order is about diplomatic architecture: The networks of power, the flow of money, and the levers of influence that determine who gains and who loses in a world of tectonic transition.
