        The purpose of the present study is to recognize and analyze the discriminant aspects and effective and facilitative main components in the economic development of the emerging powers (BRICS) based on Rostow’s theory. The main research question is: To what extent does the development strategy of the economic emerging powers (BRICS) rely on the approaches and procedures in Rostow’s theory of economic growth? The research method is descriptive-analytic and it has also made use of Rostow’s theoretical approach of growth. The results showed that apart from some minor similarities between BRICS’ development and Rostow’s model of growth, other aspects such as systematic changes, unitary level variation, global powers’ approach, necessity of rational decision making, common threatening sources, common and accumulative power sources, economic and political interests, and indigenization of the existing national and international potentials are among the effective components and discriminant aspects of BRICS’ development compared to western models.

        Abstract BRIC (consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China) was first introduced in 2001 by Jim O'Neill.

        Abstract: India has been referred to as one of the emerging economies since early twenty-first century. Rapid growth of GDP and imports/exports along with attraction of substantial foreign direct investment are indicators of the enhancement of India’s position in global economy. In such circumstances, India is also gaining influence in multilateral trade negotiations within WTO framework. Given the important role that multilateral economic institutions play in shaping the contemporary political and economic interactions and due to India’s more rigorous stance in the Doha Round, this article uses descriptive-analytic method and library resources to interpret this policy shift. It also emphasizes on economic reforms, domestic-international interaction, and WTO structure as effective components in this policy shift and simultaneously examines Indian diplomacy and negotiation strategy. This article tries to answer this question: what is India's orientation in WTO? It hypothesizes that India agrees with the WTO's principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures. The article concludes that Indian position toward WTO talks is no longer concentrated on introducing intrinsic changes in order to stand against this organization; rather, it is taking advantage of its new alliances and negotiation methods as a means of economic diplomacy to shape India’s and other emerging countries’ economic demand.
