Goldman Sachs Report on BRIC and G6

My own early analysis

BRIC will shake up old assumptions about alliances.

S. Korea and Japan may drift further out of our sphere of influence.

(Hence the bases?)

Western Europe would likely stay in a EuroCentric Alliance

Russia-India axis is likely to become increasingly active as in the Cold War days - much will depend on India and China's relationship. China has its Pakistan card - and vice versa.

Brazil will blow populist to elitist in leadership - and with those fluctuations it will draw closer to the new democratic socialist governments in Bolivia, to some extent Paraguay, Ecuador and Venezuela Nicaragua and Cuba. At other times it will shift towards the US.

Colombia is a strange case. A mini Iraq on our doorstep.
