ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the models, intensity and distribution of Brazil, Russia, India and China, joined by South Africa (BRICS) cooperation with international organizations. The BRICS considers the United Nations (UN) to be the key international organization that guides and coordinates the global community's efforts to address a wide range of issues. The importance of ensuring global economic growth and financial stability determines the BRICS active engagement with international financial institutions, especially the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. BRICS countries constantly emphasized their commitment to the principles of multilateralism, international law, and active cooperation with international and regional organizations, and to the UN as the core of the international institutional architecture. In addition, BRICS countries establish mechanisms for coordinating positions on the agendas of the UN, G20 and World Trade Organization on the sidelines of their relevant meetings or on the whole range of economic and financial issues in the case of the IMF and the World Bank.
