About the lecture

In this module, we think about who the rising powers are, with particular emphasis on the BRICS. We focus on: (i) the main criterion for establishing a country as a rising power – that it challenges existing dominant powers in the global order; (ii) the emergence of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) as the most important rising powers; (iii) the broader concept of rising powers, and other countries who have been seen as fitting within it, such as the Asian Tigers in the 1980s; (iv) why the rise of the BRICS is important, in terms of the challenge it poses to western dominance.
