Context

The 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi (September 12–13) comes amid the West Asia conflict, Ukraine war and disruptions in energy and food supply chains.

Leaders including Putin and Xi Jinping are expected; the summit provides India a platform to address conflicts and wider Global South concerns.

BRICS — Basics

BRICS
Originally Brazil, Russia, India, China + South Africa; first leaders’ summit in 2009, with South Africa joining in 2011.
Expanded grouping
Now includes 11 full members, reflecting its growing economic and geopolitical weight.
Nature
Informal, consensus-based forum; no treaty, permanent secretariat or military alliance.
Three broad pillars
Political-security, economic-financial, and people-to-people cooperation.
NDB
BRICS’ key financial institution for infrastructure and sustainable-development financing.

Why BRICS Matters for India

Global South leadership
Platform to articulate interests of developing countries and strengthen India’s diplomatic influence.
Strategic autonomy
Enables engagement with Russia, China and other major powers without joining a formal bloc.
Global governance reform
Supports greater representation of developing countries in UNSC, IMF and World Bank.
Economic resilience
Scope for cooperation in trade, development finance, energy, food security and critical supply chains.
De-dollarisation debate
Provides space to promote local-currency settlement and alternative financial mechanisms, reducing vulnerability to external financial shocks.
China engagement
BRICS provides an institutional channel for dialogue with China despite bilateral tensions.
Multipolarity
Supports India’s objective of a balanced, multipolar international order.

Challenges for India

China factor
China’s economic and political weight can influence the grouping and may conflict with India’s interests.
Russia–West tensions
India must balance BRICS engagement with its relations with the US and Europe.
Divergent interests
Members differ substantially on Ukraine, West Asia, trade and global security.
Expansion dilemma
Larger membership increases representation but makes consensus and effective coordination harder.
Limited institutionalisation
Informal structure can restrict implementation of collective decisions.
Risk of anti-West perception
India needs BRICS to remain a platform for cooperation, not bloc confrontation.

Way Forward for India

Use BRICS as a platform for issue-based cooperation, not ideological alignment.
Build consensus on development, energy/food security, counter-terrorism and global governance reform.
Strengthen the NDB and practical economic cooperation.
Maintain strategic autonomy by deepening both BRICS and India’s partnerships with the US, EU, Quad and other groupings.
Key Takeaway: BRICS: informal, consensus-based forum; no treaty, permanent secretariat or military alliance.

A Unilateral America in a Post-Unipolar World

Context: After 25 years of U.S. interventions following 9/11, military dominance remains strong but unilateral ability to shape regional and global outcomes has weakened.

Prelims Notes

Topic
GS-2 • International Relations / Global Security / Changing World Order
Key Terms
Focus on the institutions, locations, legal provisions, strategic concepts and factual details covered below.

Context

9/11 (2001) came when the U.S. was the world’s dominant power following the Cold War.

The War on Terror initially targeted al-Qaeda and the Taliban but gradually expanded into regime-change wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.

After 25 years, the interventions have produced a paradox: U.S. military dominance survived, but its ability to unilaterally shape regional and global outcomes weakened.

How U.S. Interventions Reshaped Geopolitics

Afghanistan
Taliban was removed but not defeated → regrouped → U.S. withdrawal in 2021 → Taliban returned to power.
Iraq
Saddam’s removal eliminated a buffer against Iran → Iranian influence expanded → instability enabled the rise of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and subsequently ISIS.
Libya
Gaddafi’s overthrow → state fragmentation and militia rule → weapons and jihadist networks spread towards the Sahel.
West Asia
The 2023 Hamas attack and subsequent regional escalation again drew the U.S. into conflicts despite its attempts to reduce its regional footprint.
Overall
Regime-change interventions created power vacuums, strengthening non-state actors and increasing the influence of regional and external rivals.

Emergence of a Post-Unipolar Order

China
Economic and military rise has created a major alternative pole of power and increasingly challenges U.S. primacy.
Russia
U.S. retrenchment was perceived as weakening; Russia subsequently challenged the European security order through the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
West Asia
Persistent instability has limited Washington’s ability to disengage from the region.
Europe
NATO remains important, but differences over U.S. commitments and burden-sharing have created strains in the transatlantic relationship.
Result
The world has shifted from the post-Cold War unipolar moment towards competitive multipolarity.

Strategic Lessons

Power without legitimacy/stability
Military intervention can remove regimes but cannot easily construct sustainable political orders.
Strategic overreach
Excessive commitments across multiple theatres can weaken long-term strategic flexibility.
Power vacuums
Collapse of state institutions can produce terrorism, civil conflict and rival-power expansion.
Unintended consequences
U.S. interventions indirectly strengthened Iranian influence, jihadist groups and strategic opportunities for Russia and China.
New reality
The U.S. remains the strongest military power, but global politics increasingly requires coalition-building, diplomacy and accommodation of multiple power centres.
Key Takeaway: Afghanistan: Taliban removed but not defeated; returned to power after the 2021 withdrawal.

Prelims Practice MCQ

Houthis Seize Mokha, Advance Towards Bab el-Mandeb

Context: Houthi forces have seized the strategic Yemeni port city of Mokha and are advancing towards the Bab el-Mandeb Strait amid renewed fighting.

Prelims Notes

Topic
GS-2 • West Asia / Maritime Security / International Relations; GS-3 • Energy Security
Key Terms
Focus on the institutions, locations, legal provisions, strategic concepts and factual details covered below.

Context

Houthi forces have seized the strategic Yemeni port city of Mokha (Mocha) on the Red Sea and are advancing towards the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, amid renewed fighting with Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces.

The Houthis have also reportedly captured Zuqar Island in the southern Red Sea after missile attacks followed by a boat-borne assault.

Location & Strategic Importance

Mokha
Port city on Yemen’s western coast, in Taiz Governorate, about 80 km north of Bab el-Mandeb. Its location gives access to the Red Sea shipping corridor.
Zuqar Island
Yemeni island in the southern Red Sea, part of the Hanish Islands, situated between Yemen and Eritrea and close to Bab el-Mandeb.
Bab el-Mandeb
Strategic chokepoint between Yemen (Asia) and Djibouti–Eritrea (Africa), connecting the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden → Arabian Sea → Indian Ocean.
Suez connection
Ships travelling between Asia and Europe through the Indian Ocean normally pass Bab el-Mandeb → Red Sea → Suez Canal → Mediterranean Sea.
Therefore, Houthi control of Mokha and nearby islands brings them closer to influencing this critical global maritime corridor.

Concerns for Global Trade & Security

Shipping disruption
Greater Houthi control could threaten commercial vessels and force ships to take longer routes around the Cape of Good Hope.
Energy security
Disruption of the Red Sea–Suez route can increase oil prices, freight costs and delivery times.
Geopolitical leverage
Control around Bab el-Mandeb could give the Houthis and their Iranian backers greater leverage in the wider West Asian conflict.
Saudi–Houthi escalation
Renewed fighting risks reversing years of relative calm and pushing Yemen back towards a broader civil war.
India
The route is important for India’s trade with Europe, energy supplies and Indian Ocean maritime security.
Key Takeaway: Mokha lies on Yemen’s western coast, about 80 km north of Bab el-Mandeb.

Prelims Practice MCQ

U.S.–Canada Trade Dispute: Lessons for India

Context: The U.S.–Canada trade relationship has deteriorated over tariffs and negotiations, showing that deep economic integration does not guarantee predictable trade relations.

Prelims Notes

Topic
GS-2 • International Relations; GS-3 • International Trade / Economic Security
Key Terms
Focus on the institutions, locations, legal provisions, strategic concepts and factual details covered below.

Context

The U.S.–Canada trade relationship, despite decades of deep economic integration, has deteriorated sharply over tariffs and trade negotiations.

The U.S. has imposed 50% tariffs on several Canadian imports, while Canada has responded with retaliatory tariffs; Washington has also moved towards restrictions on selected Canadian goods.

The episode demonstrates that economic interdependence and strategic partnership do not guarantee predictable trade relations.

What Canada’s Experience Shows

Deep integration is not sufficient
Canada is highly integrated with the U.S. market and supplies critical inputs such as oil, aluminium and lumber, yet remains vulnerable to unilateral U.S. trade measures.
Trade agreements have limits
Even long-standing arrangements such as NAFTA/USMCA cannot completely insulate partners from changing domestic political and economic priorities.
Economic dependence creates vulnerability
Heavy dependence on one market can reduce bargaining power when the larger partner uses tariffs and market access as negotiating instruments.
Diversification becomes strategic
Canada is increasingly looking towards alternative markets and domestic economic resilience to reduce excessive dependence on the U.S.

Lessons for India–U.S. Trade

Do not equate a trade deal with permanent tariff stability
India should assess whether negotiated concessions will provide durable benefits or merely postpone future tariff demands.
Cost–benefit before market opening
Any agreement should balance greater U.S. market access with its implications for Indian agriculture, MSMEs, manufacturing, employment and strategic sectors.
Protect competitive advantage
India should secure concessions that genuinely improve its position vis-à-vis Vietnam, Mexico, China and other competing exporters.
Preserve policy space
Negotiations should protect India’s ability to pursue legitimate industrial, agricultural, labour and developmental policies.
Diversify markets and supply chains
Greater engagement with the EU, ASEAN, Africa, West Asia and other markets can reduce vulnerability to unilateral trade actions.
Build domestic competitiveness
Trade diplomacy must be complemented by stronger manufacturing capacity, infrastructure, productivity and export competitiveness. India’s Parliamentary Standing Committee has similarly stressed export infrastructure, supply-chain integration and competitiveness while protecting Indian interests in the U.S. relationship.
Key Takeaway: NAFTA/USMCA cannot completely insulate partners from changing domestic political and economic priorities.

Ecocide: Towards Criminalising Severe Environmental Destruction

Context: Concerns over the proposed Tara coal-block auction in Hasdeo-Aranya have renewed debate on whether severe ecological destruction should attract criminal liability.

Prelims Notes

Topic
GS-3 • Environment & Ecology; GS-2 • International Law / Governance
Key Terms
Focus on the institutions, locations, legal provisions, strategic concepts and factual details covered below.

Context — Hasdeo-Aranya

The proposed Tara coal-block auction in Chhattisgarh’s Hasdeo-Aranya has raised concerns over the destruction of 4,000+ acres of dense forest and threats to biodiversity and elephant corridors.

It brings into focus the emerging debate on “ecocide” — whether extreme ecological destruction should attract criminal liability.

Ecocide — Concept & Legal Status

Ecocide
Serious environmental destruction causing severe and widespread or long-term ecological damage.
It is proposed as a fifth international crime, alongside genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression.
ICC
Not yet a standalone crime under the Rome Statute; however, Article 8(2)(b)(iv) criminalises certain wartime acts causing widespread, long-term and severe environmental damage.
International push
Vanuatu has advocated adding ecocide to the Rome Statute.
National level
Countries such as France have introduced forms of ecocide-related criminal liability.
India
No standalone ecocide offence; environmental harm is dealt with through the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, forest/wildlife laws and NGT framework.

Why It Matters

Accountability
Moves extreme environmental destruction from a regulatory violation towards criminal responsibility.
Deterrence
Creates stronger consequences for deliberate or reckless ecological damage.
Biodiversity & climate
Protects ecosystems whose destruction can be irreversible and long-term.
Intergenerational justice
Recognises the rights of future generations to ecological security.
Development–environment balance
Reinforces that development cannot justify wanton ecological destruction.
Global governance
Could establish a stronger international norm for protecting the environment as a common global interest.
Key Takeaway: Ecocide is proposed as a fifth international crime alongside genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression.

Prelims Practice MCQ

+2 correct • −0.66 wrong

What is the present legal status of ecocide under the Rome Statute, as described in the note?

Explanation: The note states that ecocide is not yet a standalone Rome Statute crime; Article 8(2)(b)(iv) covers certain wartime acts causing widespread, long-term and severe environmental damage.

Mercury Is Shrinking Faster Than Previously Estimated

Context: A new study estimates that Mercury has contracted about 30% more than previously believed, implying a possible diameter reduction of up to 23 km.

Prelims Notes

Context

A new study estimates that Mercury has contracted about 30% more than previously believed, implying a possible diameter reduction of up to 23 km.

The finding provides new evidence about Mercury’s internal cooling and geological evolution over billions of years.

Why Is Mercury Shrinking?

Mercury formed about 4.5 billion years ago and has gradually lost its internal heat.
Its unusually large iron core is cooling and contracting.
Core cooling → contraction of the interior → compression of mantle & crust → surface shortening.
This produces lobate scarps and wrinkle-like geological features on the surface.
Therefore, Mercury’s shrinking is a consequence of long-term planetary cooling, not sudden geological collapse.

What the New Study Reveals

Earlier estimates relied mainly on visible contraction-related faults mapped by NASA’s MESSENGER.
Researchers found that some wrinkles may be buried beneath impact debris, especially in rough terrain.
Accounting for these hidden features indicates that Mercury has undergone greater contraction than previously estimated.
BepiColombo (ESA–JAXA) will provide further observations to refine understanding of Mercury’s surface and interior.

Implications of Mercury’s Shrinkage

Planetary evolution
Confirms that Mercury’s interior is undergoing long-term thermal cooling and contraction.
Geological activity
Shows that Mercury’s surface preserves evidence of internal planetary processes, despite being an ancient, heavily cratered world.
Interior structure
The extent of contraction provides clues about the size, composition and thermal history of Mercury’s core.
Understanding terrestrial planets
Helps scientists understand how rocky planets lose internal heat and evolve, with implications for comparative planetary science.
Future research
Mapping contraction features can help determine whether Mercury has experienced recent or ongoing tectonic activity.
Broader significance
Studying Mercury’s cooling process helps explain why planets with different size, core composition and heat budgets evolve differently.
Key Takeaway: Mercury formed about 4.5 billion years ago and has gradually lost internal heat.

Prelims Practice MCQ

+2 correct • −0.66 wrong

What is the primary physical process behind Mercury’s shrinking described in the study?

Explanation: Mercury’s internal heat has been lost over time; its unusually large iron core cools and contracts, causing interior compression and surface shortening.

UPSC Mains Question
