Factors, which stimulate these tendencies are examined. The author considers that, in spite of positive potential and the notable position, which the countries of BRICS play under the conditions of global crisis phenomena, by their present economic policy they contribute to the sanitation “of imperialism”; activate the negative manifestations of the global “crisis of capitalism”. In the author’s the opinion multipolarity strengthens the neoliberal nature of institutes, especially in spheres of finances, trade and climate. The corporations, which are based in the countries of BRICS, demonstrate super-exploitation in the course of the accumulation of capital both in their regions and beyond their limits. The article is based on comprehension of documents of international organizations, including UNCTAD, analytics views, sometimes adhering to contrary opinions. The main aim of the author is to prove the possibility to move in positive direction. The article contains the claim to the society of BRICS members to consider summit of BRICS in Johannesburg in 2018 as an invitation for serious discussion of the problems of contemporary global policy.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья посвящена анализу центробежных тенденций в рамках БРИКС и их влиянию на процессы, происходящие в глобальном масштабе. Пристальное внимание уделяется факторам, стимулирующим данные тенденции. Автор полагает, что, несмотря на позитивный потенциал и заметную роль стран БРИКС в условиях глобальных кризисов, своей нынешней экономической политикой они способствуют продвижению «империализма», активизируя тем самым негативные проявления глобального «кризиса капитализма». По мнению автора, многополярность усиливает неолиберальный характер институтов, особенно в сфере финансов, торговли и климата. Корпорации, базирующиеся в странах БРИКС, демонстрируют сверхэкплуатацию в ходе накопления капитала, как в своих регионах, так и за пределами. Статья основана на осмыслении документов международных организаций, в том числе ЮНКТАД, критическом анализе мнений экспертов, разделяющих иногда противоположные взгляды. Автор задается целью доказать, что движение в позитивном направлении возможно. Статья содержит призыв рассматривать итоги саммита БРИКС в Йоханнесбурге в 2018 г. как приглашение общественности стран - членов этой организации к серьезному совместному обсуждению проблем современной глобальной политики.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>BRICS</kwd><kwd>global policy</kwd><kwd>corporations</kwd><kwd>Johannesburg</kwd><kwd>summit</kwd><kwd>multipolarity</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>БРИКС</kwd><kwd>глобальная политика</kwd><kwd>корпорации</kwd><kwd>Йоханнесбург</kwd><kwd>саммит</kwd><kwd>многополярность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><award-id></award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bello, W.
