Abstract: It has become the truism of our age that power is fast ebbing away from a declining West to the East and the "rest". Some indeed predict that the 21st Century will either be Asian or dominated by the so-called BRICs. This at least is how may economists, hisorians and students of world politics and inetrnational affairs are now viewing the nature of the larger international system. But how far has this process really gone? Will rising powers like India and China and re-emerging powers like Russia be able to change the global economic and political order? Dr Raj Verma describes a convergence between international relations, economics, international development, history and management to help us understand the post-BRIC economic and political state of the world. He shows how putting together rigorous ideas from cross-disciplinary social science provides a much better insight on the global economy.
