    The BRIC
    The BRIC A grouping acronym referring to the countries of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Term was first prominently used in a Goldman Sachs report from 2003. These countries arent a political alliance - but they have the potential to form a powerful economic bloc These four countries are among the biggest and fastest growing emerging markets Already BRIC accounts for:
    40 per cent of the world's population, 25.9 per cent of its total geographic area, 40 per cent of global GDP

    Dreaming with BRICs: The Path to 2050


    BRICs currencies could appreciate by 300%, providing a big tailwind for investors in BRIC assets. By 2050, BRIC countries expected to account for over 40% of the worlds population, and 60% of global GDP. Taken together, the BRICs could be larger than the United States and the developed economies of Europe within 40 years.

    CHINA: Unleashing The Caged Tiger

    Challenges

    Shared Challenges & Opportunities

    The face of poverty in 20th century was rural children. The face of poverty in the 21st century will be the urban elderly. Making the global system more accommodating to diverse cultures and values

    Opportunities
    Inclusive growth critical for sustained globalization (politically) in developing countries, because potential lies in bringing up all

    BRIC and International politics


    Influence on New world order.
    U.S troops has been deployed in Afghanistan for more than 8 years without any substantive outcome. Afghanistan is close to China, India and Russia. The controversial question of Iran. Russia, China and India could secure more proximity to the region.

    BRIC cooperation is not solely an anti-U.S., or antiwestern phenomenon, but is based on deeper common interests. Improve Bargaining Position with Western Countries. Stabilize International Environment and Prevent Encirclement

    INFLUENCE
    Account for 15% of the global economy and 42% of global currency reserves. Between 2000 and 2005, the BRICs contributed roughly 28% of global growth in US dollar terms and 55% in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms. Their share of global trade continues to climb at a rapid rate. At close to 15% currently, it is now double its level in 2001. The BRICs share of oil demand is moving steadily higher, with an estimated 18% share in the current year

    BRIC Summit Aftermath


    BRIC Summit Aftermath The BRIC countries met for their first official summit on 16 June 2009, in Yekaterinburg, Russia. Discussed the current global financial crisis, global development, and further strengthening of the BRIC group. Attacked the role of dollar as the primary international currency & suggested new global reserve currency that is 'diversified, stable and predictable'. Issued a joint statement on global food security, calling for action by all governments and the relevant international agencies

    Criticism
    Understatement of GDP growth in China which predicts growth falling far below normal development. The BRICs dream isnt green. Nothing more than a neat acronym for the four largest emerging market economies. BRICs doesnt have a concrete and constructive agenda for change or vision for a future world order. It is not clear what BRIC would do even if they were given the opportunity to remake the international order.

    Conclusion
    The Importance of the U.S. The BRICs have come together in a political grouping in a way that has far exceeded most expectations. Although BRIC cooperation has been significant, intra-BRIC competition and rivalry are important limits on how much further BRIC cooperation can go
