The Rise and Fall of Emerging Powers: Globalisation, Us Power and the Global North-South Divide
ISBN: 9783319340111 / Angielski / Twarda / 111 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book critically examines the argument that the Global South has risen in recent years, that its rise has intensified since the 2008 financial crisis, and that this in turn has hastened the decline of the West and the US in particular. Drawing on critical theories of international relations and development, Kiely puts the rise into context and shows how the factors that aided the rise of the South have now given way to a less favourable international context. Indeed, economic problems in China and other leading countries, falling commodity prices and capital outflows point us in the...

Drawing on pioneering empirical research from a diverse group of countries, including the United Kingdom, Uganda, Norway, Pakistan, India, South Korea, and China, the contributors outline core principles that can bring policy makers...

Their radical message has...
