This book documents the recent ascent to economic and political power of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRICs) and provides a vision of their future prospects. At a time when the Eurozone is calling on these countries to salvage it from indebtedness and President Obama struggles to demonstrate that 'America is back', this book examines whether the facts support the widespread perception that the BRICs are turning into global economic and political powers. If they are, do the BRICs have what it takes to rule the world in the long-term? In response to this question, this book presents an alternative vision of the BRICs' future. It suggests that any threat to Western domination from BRIC ascendancy is offset by excessive inequality and insufficient innovation, which could cause them to lose their economic dynamism and precipitate BRIC decline.

Die Erweiterung der Staatengruppe ist kein antiwestliches Schreckgespenst – sie ist ein Ausdruck dafür, wie Staaten ihre Interessen bestmöglich verfolgen. (IP)

Italy is a country with limited sovereignty, caught in a vice between the strict parameters set by the European Union and the policies imposed by the United States. Rome's decline has been furthered by the effects of the pandemic and its adherence to the anti-Russian policies imposed by the US/EU/NATO triad to which the new Atlanticist government led by Giorgia Meloni has sworn allegiance. There is, however, an alternative: the BRICS group. Joining or working closely with the coordination of emerging powers would allow Italy to break free from its cage, regain its lost sovereignty and its natural role as the Mediterranean's centre of gravity and stabilising force.

Document fourni avant et en séance ; International audience ; The BRICS countries are considered as emerging powers, which for the time being refuse to accept other developing powers or developed economies. The list of countries concerned evolves in time, each era has its emergent. The definition is vague, it depends on the GDP (questionable concept), the economic catch-up, the profound transformations of the national economy. Stable political structures are often claimed to come out of a sluggish economic system. Sometimes, emerging countries have weak domestic demand; they develop through exports, with all the dangers of the risks of economic war. Standards set by international economic organizations are also challenged in order to address over-indebtedness issues, adverse power relations, terms of trade degradation and looting of their resources. ; Les pays du BRICS sont considérés comme des puissances émergentes, qui refusent, pour l'instant, d'accepter d'autres puissances ou économies développées en devenir. La liste des pays concernés évolue dans le temps, chaque époque a ses émergents. La définition est flou, elle dépend du PIB (concept discutable), du rattrapage économique, des transformations profondes de l'économie nationale. Les structures politiques stables sont souvent revendiquées pour sortir d'un système économique atone. Parfois, les pays émergents ont une demande interne faible, ils se développent grâce aux exportations, avec tous les dangers que comporte les risques de la guerre économique. Les normes définies par les organisations économiques internationales sont aussi contestées, afin de résoudre les questions du surendettement, les rapports de puissance défavorables, la dégradation des termes de l'échange et le pillage de leurs ressources.
