metadata.value: In the 1980s, Robert W. Cox (considered the “father of Critical Theory” in IR) envisioned that
  a counter-hegemonic movement could arise in the future from the multilateral alliance of less
  privileged States, which could resist the dominance of the central powers of the system. Almost
  three decades later, the 2008 Financial Crisis, the decline of the US hegemony (propelled
  by its unilateralist actions) and the rise of emerging economies all over the world resulted in
  a scenario of transformation and redistribution of power in international relations. In that
  context, a reformist movement driven by developing countries (some of them located geographically
  distant from one another), especially by the BRICS nations, voiced new demands
  for democratization of global governance at the international level, contesting the US and
  Western hegemony in world affairs and the underrepresentation of less-privileged States in
  important multilateral organizations. From the analysis of the conceptual framing of Critical
  Theory to the context behind the inception of BRICS and its positions in international relations,
  this article aims to explore the elements that could possibly connect the group to the
  interpretations undertaken by Critical Theorists, showing that the group does hold certain
  positions that can allow such an association.
