ABSTRACT The globe is going through a period of significant change. The creation of the "second world", transitional capitalism, September 11, the 2008 economic and financial crisis, and the rising power in general, BRICS in particular have been all marked by a transfer of power away from the old North Western powers and towards the South. Such significant changes have altered the framework and boundaries of social, economic, and political interactions on both the national and international levels, putting more pressure on the current international order in terms of both opportunities and limits. BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) emerge as globally significant economic and political powers, posing an obvious threat to the postwar liberal international order. Its members (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) hope to limit the dominance of the US in global economic and financial architecture and, eventually, overthrow the US-led liberal order by democratizing the postwar liberal world order, which is surrounded by several challenges both internal and external, including the impact of rising powers on the liberal international institutions, the expansion of liberal democracy, resulted from military conflict as well as the arrival of Trump to the American presidency. However, this study claims despite several challenges posed today to the liberal international order, the BRICS do not pose a threat to the post-war order despite the progress it has been doing from its creation to date. However, BRICS members cannot challenge or threaten the US-led world order for several reasons, including the BRICS group's internal make-up, its ideological and political heterogeneity, its inability to formulate a coherent foreign policy vision, and the lack of clear BRICS foreign policy objectives as well as the diplomatic and financial sanctions imposed on them more particular on its two leading states such as China and Russia. Keywords: Brazil, China, India, US, Russia, South Africa
