Les pays �mergents. Approche g�o-�conomique: Approche g�o-�conomique

The emergence of new major powers, the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), is the most significant phenomenon of the last decade. After the first phase which saw China become the world's second largest economy, new powers from the South have started to come to the fore, Nigeria, Indonesia, Ethiopia, and Vietnam, and this in a world that is becoming more and more globalised. These new emerging countries are in full economic and demographic growth and they now want to play a more important role in world affairs. This structured, clear, educational work discusses the main issues that emerging countries must deal with: globalisation, demography, urbanisation, religion, climatic changes, currency, corporations... This manual is intended for students in preparatory classes, political science institutes, and schools of business and economics, as well as all those wishing to understand the impact of these countries on world economy and society. A clear concise chronology makes it possible to put into perspective the significant events that have taken place in these emerging countries since the fall of the Berlin wall. The author's arguments are illustrated with numerous graphics and maps.
