An emerging power or rising power is a sovereign state or Political union of states with significant rising influence in global affairs. Such a power aspires to have a more powerful position or role in international relations, either regional power or great power, and possess sufficient resources and levels of development that such goals are potentially achievable.

Characteristics There are few available conceptualizations of the term "emerging power". Therefore, there is no standard or agreed method to decide which states are emerging powers. However, a fundamental characteristic of an emerging power is that it is also an Emerging markets, being that economic development is necessary and preliminary to political and military emergence.

Paul Kennedy (1987). 9780679720195, Random House. . ISBN 9780679720195

It has been argued that while a country may be an emerging power, it is above anything else an emerging economy with only the potential or hope of increasing their global influence. This is because of several limiting factors, largely the seven dimensions of state power: geography, population, economy, resources, military, diplomacy, and national identity. Traditionally, only or have succeeded in all seven dimensions of state power.

The BRICS are often cited as being emerging powers, but at varying stages of development and of varying degrees of potential. For example, Russia, which was once a superpower, is now re-emerging in some aspects of state power following the fall of the Soviet Union. China and India are emerging as potential superpowers, while Brazil is emerging as a possible great power.
