While developed economies struggle to come to terms with huge levels of debt, newly industrialized markets are showing strong growth prospects as manufacturers and investors look at low cost production locations. This, in turn, has led to urbanization and the rise of more affluent middle classes in regions such as the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia.John Manners-Bell analyzes the key trends affecting the development of emerging markets: the social, economic and political context; the reasons behind their integration within the global trading economy; and the main challenges (security, corruption and transportation infrastructure).
