Enhancing Governance and Public Administration Reform in BRICS Countries: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

The BRICS countries, namely Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, are dynamically driven emerging economies that have experienced rapid growth and significant political transformations in recent decades. This article examines the challenges and opportunities faced by the BRICS countries in enhancing governance and implementing comprehensive public administration reforms. Each country has its unique political, social, and economic context, resulting in diverse challenges. These include corruption, bureaucratic inefficiencies, lack of transparency, inadequate public service delivery, and uneven regional development. This paper aims to explore the challenges and opportunities in governance and public administration reform within the context of BRICS, the unique characteristics and commonalities of BRICS countries, identifies key challenges in governance and public administration, and proposes strategies to harness the opportunities for reform. The findings of this research provide valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners in BRICS countries and beyond.
