The term emerging powers is a recognition of the rising, primarily economic, influence of a group of nations who have recently increased their presence in global affairs. They aspire to more assertive roles on the international stage and possess sufficient resources that such goals are potentially achievable.
Although there is no exact delineation of membership, the term is often used to include the eleven countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey) whom, along with the G8 members, form the G20.
