Globalisation and Emerging Economies
Brazil, Russia, India, Indonesia, China and South Africa
This book analyses key elements of the trade performance of the BRIICS in relation to the rest of the world, focusing on trade and other policies influencing that performance. Developments in global trade policy are reviewed, notably the impact of preferential trade agreements on the multilateral system and patterns of world trade are described using both indices that reveal networks of trading relations and more standard modeling results.
As well as the global analysis, the book also presents a separate chapter for each of the BRIICS, examining the key development and trade issues in each of the six countries over the past few years.

The International Economic Order and Trade Architecture
There is a growing perception that in the last 15 years, the world has lived through an accelerated globalisation process. From an economic perspective, this can be explained by the rapid increase in the degree of integration through international trade and investment flows. Indeed, global trade relative to world GDP has grown from 39% in 1992 to 52% in 2005. At the same time, the share of world trade of OECD countries has gone down from 73% in 1992 to 64% in 2005. This shift in the pattern of trade has led to much interest in analysing changes in the structure of the world trade network and in particular, how the role and influence of emerging markets on world trade has evolved.
