The New Delhi Declaration and the Politics of Circulation: What the BRICS Summit Really Signals | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 18th BRICS Summit closed in New Delhi with the unanimous adoption of a joint declaration, despite sharp disagreement among members over the recent West Asia conflict. Beyond the diplomatic headline, the summit is worth reading through world-systems theory and a broader Marxist account of imperialism — one that locates power not in territorial occupation but in control over the circuits through which capital, payments, energy, and data move. The argument here is straightforward: BRICS is not
Pakistan’s Geopolitical Rise and the Persistence of Economic Dependency | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The US-Israeli war on Iran, which began in late winter 2026, upended the security equations of the Middle East and pushed actors to centre stage who had previously sat at the margins of conventional analyses of a “collapsing regional order.” Pakistan is one of the most prominent of these actors. For the past three decades, it has figured in international-relations literature mainly as a source of crisis — domestic instability, terrorism and nuclear rivalry with India.

Women’s Liberation, the Family, and the Contradictions of Peripheral Capitalism | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The relationship between feminism, the family, and capitalism has become one of the most contentious theoretical and political questions of recent decades. In many societies—semi-peripheral ones in particular—rapid social change, rising female educational attainment, women’s growing presence in public life, and shifting family patterns have raised new questions about the future of the family and the social organization of life itself. Conservative narratives typically attribute the crisis of the
Sudan’s Proxy War: Gulf Rivalries, Resource Extraction, and the Fragmentation of a State | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Introduction: From Civil War to Regional Systemic Conflict Sudan’s ongoing war is often described as an internal power struggle between rival military factions. While domestic rivalries are central to the conflict, this framing risks obscuring the broader regional and global dynamics that increasingly shape and sustain it. What is unfolding in Sudan can also be understood as a case study in how regional competition, resource extraction, and global geopolitical interests intersect in fragile post
