RISING ECONOMIC POWERS

RISING ECONOMIC POWERS, AND MORE FROM CRS

For those who may not have been paying attention, "A small group of developing countries are transforming the global economic landscape," the Congressional Research Service observed in a report last month.  "Led by China, India, and Brazil, these rising economic powers pose varied challenges and opportunities for U.S. economic interests and leadership of the global economy."  See "Rising Economic Powers and the Global Economy: Trends and Issues for Congress" (pdf), August 22, 2011.
