Kwang Ho Chun

The BRICs Superpower Challenge

Foreign and Security Policy Analysis

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In line with neo-realist approaches, this book argues that in a unipolar world competitors will rise to challenge the global hegemon. As the power profiles of the BRICs rise and they gain greater control of geo-global politics, they are likely to attain significant regional dominance among other regional powers although their underdeveloped tradition of hard power and internal challenges could prevent them from gaining superpower status. This innovative book captures the dynamics of the changing international system and the prospects for a change in the international distribution of power.
