The Southern Center for International Studies Young
Professionals (SCIS YP) is pleased to announce its inaugural conference, Globalization and Emerging Economies, taking place on May 17, 2008 in Atlanta, GA.
The term “Emerging Markets” is commonly used to describe business and market activity in industrializing
or emerging regions of the world. Originally brought into fashion in the 1980s by then World Bank economist Antoine van Agtmael, the term is sometimes loosely used as a replacement for emerging economies,
but really signifies a business phenomenon that is not fully described by or constrained to geography
or economic strength; such countries are considered to be in a transitional phase between developing and developed status. Examples of emerging markets include: China, India, Mexico, Brazil, Chile much of Southeast Asia, countries in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, parts of Africa and Latin America.
Emphasizing the fluid nature of the category, political scientist Ian Bremmer defines an emerging market as “a country where politics matters at least as much as economics to the markets”.
