Description
Summary:This paper reflects on the role that the emerging powers have developed in different spheres of global decision-making. Firstly, it describes the current international order, and conceptualizes the category of emerging power, as derived from that of middle power. Next, the paper focuses on three fields of global governance: commercial sphere (wto), financial sphere (World Bank, fmi, G-20), and environmental sphere (summits on climate change). In this way it aims to establish whether the role of the emerging powers has led to modifications in international forums for decision-making, and how the relationships between traditional, emerging and re-emerging powers have been reconfigured
