Emerging markets, however, have generally surmounted the crisis.

Afterward, capital flows to developing countries stagnated.

Emerging market countries are turning to an array of techniques to discourage capital inflows or sterilize their effect on the exchange rate.

Other emerging markets are likely to follow a similar course.

Under these circumstances, emerging markets present a new frontier.

Emerging markets should cope with inflows by finding ways to use foreign capital more effectively, which involves strengthening domestic financial markets. For example, in India, there is a great need for financing large infrastructure projects a need that cannot easily be met by local banks.

Other than schadenfreude , emerging markets have brought little to the table.

What emerging markets can add to this agenda is, to put it charitably, unclear.
