The emerging economies are weakening. China’s economy is less dynamic and the country is regressing at political level. Brazil has been paralysed in domestic policy terms and has experienced a severe recession. The South African economy is stagnating and the nation’s democratic institutions are being undermined by nepotism. The coup in Turkey has rocked the country to the core in domestic-policy and economic terms, and the list could go on and on. And these are supposed to be “rising powers”?!
