About 80% of the world's nations are considered emerging markets. Countries NOT considered emerging markets include the United States, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and most Western European nations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide\">The proposed project may focus on both industrialized nations and emerging markets, but the latter should be an important part of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide\">Projects should immerse students in real-world issues facing emerging markets by generating real-world impact and\/or by exposing the greater Northeastern University community to important problems and opportunities in emerging markets. They should also enhance the learning experience and\/or career outlook for the student participant(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2
