Journal overview 

The term emerging markets refers to two groups of countries: i) the rapidly growing countries in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East that since the 1980s have embraced policies favoring economic liberalization and the adoption of a free-market system, and ii) the former Communist economies of Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Bloc that have embarked upon policies of political and economic liberalization, macro-economic stabilization, and private enterprise since the collapse of communism in the 1990s . Emerging markets together account for two-thirds of the world’s population and over 20% of the world’s GDP. Among the emerging markets, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) stand out as undergoing the most far-reaching economic, business and socio-political change in the contemporary world.
