Mosca, 15 giugno 2009. Potenze emergenti a confronto a Yekaterinburg, per continuare a ‘trainare’ l’economia mondiale oltre the crisis. They are the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC), seated in these hours around a table in the Russian metropolis, to discuss key issues of the twenty-first century. Topping the list dell'odg, is the need to "rethink the financial system" considered the cause of economic crisis, followed by the task will become less dependent on U.S. dollar, putting into question the role of global money. "The good news is that the rich nations are in crisis, and that emerging countries are making a net contribution to save the economy and, therefore, save the rich nations," said Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in recent days, adding on to more advanced countries, "are not the only ones to contribute to global productivity, and even to consumers." This explains why, according to Lula and other leaders of the BRICs, it is necessary to review the geography and politics of world trade.
The reality is this: what until a few years ago could pass off as pretentious shoot in the light of the facts and numbers today seem more realistic. This is demonstrated by the fact that, nowadays, Brazil, Russia, India and China account for 15% of the 60.7 trillion dollar global economy, with a growth trend that secondo Goldman Sachs in 20 anni porterà il BRIC a surclassare i paesi del G7, mentre la Cina conquisterà il primato di maggiore economia del pianeta subentrando agli Stati Uniti. Tanto basta a dare impulso a nuove correnti di pensiero, che vorrebbero ridisegnare la mappa geopolitica e geoeconomica globale, e il summit in corso in questi giorni è la prova di come una speculaizone filosofica stia prendendo forma e concretezza nella volontà delle quattro maggiori potenze emergenti, e c’è da scommetterci, sta scuotendo anche la pretesa di intoccabilità dell’Occidente.
Tra i principali temi trattati a Yekaterinburg ci saranno:
- reazione alla crisi finanziaria
- alternatives to U.S. dollar
-
currency reserves - the policy of the G20
-
food security - energy security
- Nuclear Non-Proliferation
