Did BRIC never exist outside the feverish imagination of the neocons?
Well, they actually had a summit last summer.
BRIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BRIC countries met for their first official summit on 16 June 2009, in Yekaterinburg, Russia,[19] with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Dmitry Medvedev, Manmohan Singh, and Hu Jintao, the respective leaders of Brazil, Russia, India and China, all attending.
But one summit does not build an organization. (And how long before that have we not heard about the BRIC-bogeyman?)
Brazil, South Africa, India and China has cooperated at least since 2001.
Doha Development Round - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most significant differences are between developed nations led by the European Union (EU), the United States (USA), and Japan and the major developing countries led and represented mainly by India, Brazil, China, and South Africa.
They do not appear to always cooperate, but between them they probably has massive power in the G-77, and it is in their interests to keep it this way, by not being split by the JEUUS (Japan, EU and US, (I can also create abbreviations)).
