“Emerging” national economies are countries in the “South,”
which have high rates of economic growth,
as measured by capitalist indexes.
Of the 32 emerging economies, China, India, Mexico, Brazil, Chile,
and Russia are the newest “emerging” economies.
Other major emerging economies are
South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore.
All the emerging economies accounted for
30 % of the world’s GDP, and
50% if measured by “purchasing-power parity” in 2007.
They exported 45 % of the world total;
consumed over 50% of the world’s energy; and
had 75 % of global foreign-exchange reserves.

Now you are ready to create your own
maps of Third World patterns.
You will learn to use a simple mapping
software program, duplicate a map from your
atlas, and create your own map. You will be
using this same software and data again when
you make maps of Western Europe.
