The BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India, and China - have been all the buzz these days.

Could this just be new countries vying for more influence at the existing global governance table, or is it possible that they usher in a new era for the world - shifting to a new global governance model? Only time will tell. For now, here are some good videos and articles to begin our analysis.
