My quibble with the sub- characterization of the BRICs is that it implies they act on behalf of one or another major or full-fledged imperialist power, whereas they are mainly acting out of their own self-interest, albeit in contexts where they are not the strongest powers. Who, for example, would Russia be “subbing” for in Syria? Who is China or South Africa subbing for in Africa?
