In the second instalment of Geopolitics for Business, Flint director and former Australian diplomat Katie Whitting chairs a panel of Flint experts to discuss the outcome of the recent BRICS summit. They debate the significance of enlargement of the BRICS, whether China can succeed in turning this group into a counterweight to the G7, and what these changes could mean for business.

Katie is joined by: 

• Sir Simon Fraser, Flint managing partner and former head of the UK Foreign Office and Diplomatic Service and  
• Hayfa Matar, Flint partner and former Bahraini diplomat 
• Francois-Joseph Schichan, Flint director and former French diplomat.
