Abstract

From China to Brazil, and India to Venezuela, emerging powers of the world have made their presence felt in multiple ways in the first decades of the 21st century. Not only are their economic and financial capabilities growing, but they also have begun to utilize their newly found material capabilities as the basis for developing active foreign policy tools. What types of financial statecraft (FS) are they engaging in? What motivates the players? What are their constraints, and what are the implications of their FS strategies for global economic governance? These are the questions we asked at the start of this project.
