Concluding, for discussion BRICs are Emerging Powers w/ some Governance Deficits which do Matter The Governance/Rule of Law challenges & trends differ across BRICs: Brazil vs. Russia, India vs. China [but also oil issue, Russia and Brazil] Within each BRIC, Strengths & Weaknesses: Brazil: VA/GE vs. CC/RL; Russia: GEvs. VA/RL/CC; India: VA/Transparency/[Judiciary] vs. Exclusion/PV; China: GE/RQ vs VA/CCRL/[PV] FDI angle: Personal & Property Rights Security More globalized rule of law may help? (G20, Int l arbitration, ICC) Yes, we can : Governance/Rule of Law can improve 21 in a decade, & likely to earn large payoff
