"This piece by Jagannath Panda analyses the challenges and opportunities that BRICS+ brings for India ahead of the New Delhi summit. He argues that the BRICS+ offers India what the original BRICS could not: a wider Global South constituency. Yet it also confronts New Delhi with a considerably more complicated exercise in coalition management. India must manage China without making BRICS China-centric; preserve Russia without inheriting Moscow’s confrontation with the West; accommodate Iran’s interests without turning BRICS into an anti-Western platform; deepen relations with the UAE and other pragmatic middle powers; and engage newer members without allowing continuous expansion to hollow out the grouping, writes Panda. He further writes that the New Delhi summit is therefore important less as a destination than as the beginning of a larger test for Indian foreign policy: how to make BRICS+ serve India’s multipolar strategy without allowing BRICS+ to define that strategy.

"Dorota Heidrich and Justyna Nakonieczna-Bartosiewicz, in this issue brief, write that the entry into force of the EU’s New Pact on Migration and Asylum in June 2026 is only the latest in a series of measures by which Global North states are narrowing access to international protection. This is happening at a moment when the number of forcibly displaced people, 117.8 million at the end of 2025, remains near record highs. Both scholars trace how forced displacement evolved from a legitimate instrument of statecraft into a violation of international law and argue that today’s crisis is not primarily one of numbers but of political will. The very states that built the postwar protection regime are systematically retreating from it. Even though, according to available statistics, the number of forced migrants will continue rising, the most likely trajectory in protection is the normalization of forced displacement as an ad hoc managed condition, in which treatment depends less on need than on where people come from and how much they are worth politically, write Heidrich and Nakonieczna-Bartosiewicz.

"Building on transactional multipolarity, Shahab Khan in this issue brief argues that Sino–Bangladesh momentum is likely to deepen, not by strategic preference, but because energy transition, supply-chain geopolitics, and the reordering of the Bangladesh-China–India–Myanmar (BCIM) space leave Dhaka fewer alternatives. The issue brief examines six corridor–coast cases—Gwadar, Kyaukphyu, Chabahar, Kaladan, Hambantota and Colombo—through Dhaka’s lens, assesses Bangladesh’s coastal anchors at Matarbari and the Pekua submarine base, and examines limits to Chinese influence in the Bay of Bengal. Prime Minister Rahman’s June 2026 visit to Beijing—fifteen memoranda, a third joint communiqué, a framework for Mongla Port, and a proposed China–Myanmar–Bangladesh Economic Corridor—suggests that this deepening is already operational, writes Khan. He further writes that the principal vulnerability is the absence of a national consensus on foreign policy, measured against the “Bangladesh First” doctrine and the Dhaka–Beijing–Washington triangle.
