Émergence, l’économie du développement interpellée
Abstract
From the statements of the vacuity of the concept in the literature and of the likely novelty of a series of features concerning emerging economies, this paper draws a reflection about the usefulness of an analytical investigation of that notion of economic emergence. This point is made alongside a dual strand of questioning. Firstly, are there new facts in emergence or is it still the same old story revisited. A second and more provocative point questions the ability of the standard theories of economic development to assess the huge and rapid changes current undertaken by the so-called emerging economies.
