This wiki is the site of collaborative work on research and analysis of the BRIC nations as emerging societies in the new global order. As an acronym coined by the financial institution Goldman Sachs students evaluate the validity of this term as it relates to the rise of "emerging markets" with a significant GDP growth. How does this term underestimate and devalue the role of historical, and societal forces in studying the real/actual growth of Brazil, Russia, India and China? Is their story of success based purely on globalization or market reforms in the context of the post cold war world? What are the unique attributes of each of these countries in shaping their future course of history? While each of these BRIC countries have their specific challenges they are also learning to create a space for themselves on the world stage. How can the BRICs ensure sustainable development within their individual societies? These and other conclusions are investigated and explored in this wiki by students of St. Paul Academy. media type="custom" key="5773267"
