The book examines the rising influence of emerging powers in global
politics, with a special focus on the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia,
India, China). Chapters contributed by international scholars first
look at the changing status of the US in the 21st century and at the
EU as both an emerging and innovative power. China's rising power
status, India's regional and global influence, Russia's re-emergence,
and Brazil's growing regional and international role are then analyzed
comparatively to explain how the BRIC states are poised to become
vital players not only in politics and economy, but also in key
international concerns such as terrorism, globalization, and climate
change. The book provides a detailed analysis of political, economic,
security, and foreign policy trends in the BRIC countries to address
such questions as to whether they will seek to revise the
international order or work within it and how they will deal with
transnational global problems. Using a unique comparative approach,
the text will appeal to undergraduate students in world politics,
international relations, and foreign policy.
