本书在CC BY-NC-ND许可下开放获取。本书分析了当今新兴国家面临的经济、社会和政治挑战。尽管“新兴国家”在全球事务和治理中的重要性日益增加，但由于经济的快速发展和相关的社会政治变化，国内出现了许多需要立即解决的问题。中等收入陷阱是新兴国家面临的主要经济挑战。本书将技术升级的利益协调视为避免陷阱的关键，并探讨了各种新兴国家如何通过促进公私合作、市场参与者的自愿协会和/或社交网络来应对这一挑战。社会差距是另一个严重问题。它深深植根于南非和许多拉丁美洲国家等新兴国家的历史。然而，即使在曾经因公平的高经济增长而受到称赞的东亚，收入分配最近也在恶化。政治开放的压力越来越大，这是新兴国家面临的另一个挑战。本书认为，经济、社会和政治问题是交织在一起的，新兴国家需要建立政治共识，以解决经济和社会困难。民主体制在这方面并非总是成功的。
This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND license. This volume analyzes the economic, social, and political challenges that emerging states confront today. Notwithstanding the growing importance of the ‘emerging states’ in global affairs and governance, many problems requiring immediate solutions have emerged at home largely as a consequence of the rapid economic development and associated sociopolitical changes. The middle-income trap is a major economic challenge faced by emerging states. This volume regards interest coordination for technological upgrading as crucial to avoid the trap and examines how various emerging states are grappling with this challenge by fostering public-private cooperation, voluntary associations of market players, and/or social networks. Social disparity is another serious problem. It is deeply rooted in history in the emerging states such as South Africa and many Latin American countries. However, income distribution is recently deteriorating even in East Asia that was once praised for its high economic growth with equity. Increasing pressure for political opening is another challenge for emerging states. This volume argues that the economic, social, and political problems are interwoven in the sense that the emerging states need to build political consensus in order to tackle the economic and social difficulties. Democratic institutions have not always been successful in this respect.
