Abstract: With the deepening of BRICS’ cooperation, there are controversies about the prospect of BRICS’ cooperation, especially the arguments that the unity of BRICS will break, the unity is unworkable or have a conflicting agenda with the West. At the end of the first round of summit meetings of BRICS, it is conductive to the sound development of BRICS’ cooperation to understand the significance and prospect of BRICS’ cooperation properly. The past five years’ cooperation has proved that BRICS is an emerging force with an open, progressive and cooperative spirit. Its cooperation foundation has been consolidated, its cooperation mechanism has been deepened and its influence has benefits the world as a whole. How to integrate the influence of BRICS to current international institutions has become the key to the construction of an effective global governing system. In order to achieve a better prospect of BRICS’ cooperation, we need to improve the global governing system in a gradual way, which demands deepened internal cooperation among BRICS members and the cooperation spirit among leading powers as well. Which role will China play in BRICS cooperation? This is a crucial question.
