Some Key Terms


                                                                           “Go home m’zungu, Go Home !”

                  There are few available conceptualizations of the term "emerging power". Therefore,

                  there is no standard or agreed method to decide which states are emerging powers.
                  However a fundamental characteristic of an emerging power is that it is also an

                  emerging economy, being that economic development is necessary and preliminary to
                  political and military emergence

                  The BRICS are often cited as being emerging powers, but at varying stages of
                  development and of varying degrees of potential. For example, Russia, which was once a
                  superpower, is now re-emerging in some aspects of state power following the fall of the

                  Soviet Union. China and India are emerging as potential superpowers, while Brazil is
                  emerging as a possible great power.

                  The term emerging power is often used to delineate the following countries:

                  Brazil, China,  EU (supranational union), India, Mexico, Russia "
