Critical Acclaim
‘Hemant Merchant has compiled a useful, 15-chapter collection of contemporary contributions to our understanding of emerging markets. This is a welcome volume. It provides a mix of theory, empirical analyses, and a module on operational practices. As such, not only might this book serve as a comprehensive resource, it could also be used as the core text for an MSc course on emerging markets.’
– Paul W Beamish, Western University, Canada
‘As research on emerging markets has grown from a trickle to a flood, Professor Merchant rightly argues for pausing a moment to reflect on what is truly distinctive about these countries vis-à-vis developed markets. He has assembled in this Handbook an outstanding collection of chapters by established as well as up-and-coming scholars from around the world. A must-read for anyone interested in getting to the bottom of what makes emerging economies special and why their economic and political power will grow further in the coming decades.’
