ICEBERG TRACK 1
This track examines how the G20 and BRICS, often described through visible summit processes, communiqués, and memberships, can either deliver real structural influence or slip into symbolic noise. It contrasts what these blocs can change in rule-setting, risk-sharing, and finance architecture against what remains constrained by incentives, creditor coordination, and fragile legitimacy in a polycrisis.
The first of the two sessions take stock of BRICS in Delhi. The second analyses the role of the G20 in the absence of the Global South around the table. Both sessions question the role of G7: Is it still relevant? Does it act as a catalyst that enables transition toward a fairer post-Bretton Woods order, or does it require rebalancing so Global South priorities are not merely acknowledged but realistically enforced?
