The Rising Powers
Course Number:

Course Description:
The world as we know it is changing. The recent emergence of the Rising Powers as potentially reshaping the global system towards multipolarity has excited the imagination of scholars, policy-makers and the media. Observers have coined any number of acronyms- BRICS, MINT, CIVETS, etc etc.- to offer their interpretations of these changes. Opinions are often polarised. Some commentators worry about the perceived decline of the ‘west’. Others celebrate the alleged rise of the ‘rest’. In this module, we unpack some of these proliferating acronyms and nuance the polarised views. We explain the political and social factors that have spurred the economic and geostrategic transformations that are shaping the global future.
