Annotation Тhe article examines topical issues of trans-regional cooperation of the BRICS countries. The main attention is paid to the problems of political and economic cooperation, cooperation in the field of education and science. Prospects for the development of interaction in these areas are outlined. It should be noted that the so-called BRICS group is a completely new phenomenon in the international arena. BRICS is an abbreviation for a group of countries that account for over 42% of the world’s population and 15 % of global GDP. The main goal of this group is to change the existing order of the world political, economic and financial international system. This means that these developing countries are questioning the importance of the role of the West as the dominant global social center of power and economic development. In this article, we have made an attempt to reflect the positive and negative aspects of BRICS cooperation on the world stage. Note that the BRICS claims to the world community arose not only because these countries experienced rapid economic growth, but also because of the evolution of the socio-economic paradigm in which the BRICS countries existed. It is becoming clear that living in a world with limited resources calls into question the viability of a global economic system based on the idea of unlimited growth and resources. This means that global competition for resources will intensify in the future. The BRICS organization can be conditionally viewed as a geopolitical buffer for each of its members. This analysis has described the respective ambitions and goals, as well as the risks and potential complementarities of the five BRICS economies. This article may be of interest to researchers of both individual BRICS countries and experts in the field of international relations and world politics. Also, the materials of the work can be used both in the preparation of relevant scientific works in the field of social sciences, political science, history, and for general acquaintance with the ongoing processes within the BRICS group
