China has reinforced its dominance in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 BRICS & Emerging Economies Rankings 2016, claiming half of 바카라사이트 top 10 places.

India is 바카라사이트 third most-represented nation in 바카라사이트 list, behind China and Taiwan, but is 바카라사이트 only BRICS nation without a university in 바카라사이트 top 10. The Indian Institute of Science leads 바카라사이트 country¡¯s 16 institutions in 16th place.

Although South Africa has just six universities represented, it is 바카라사이트 only country outside China with more than one institution in 바카라사이트 top 10; 바카라사이트 University of Cape Town is fourth and 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 Witwatersrand is sixth.

Countries outside 바카라사이트 BRICS nations have also made progress. The National Autonomous University of Mexico is 바카라사이트 highest-ranked Latin American institution outside Brazil, in 23rd place, while 바카라사이트 Czech Republic has five institutions in 바카라사이트 top 100, up from two last year.

Phil Baty, 바카라 사이트 추천 rankings editor, said 바카라사이트 table provides an ¡°extraordinary case study in what can be achieved in only a couple of decades, where significant money and political will can be brought to bear¡±.

¡°It can¡¯t be long now until China¡¯s universities join 바카라사이트 world's upper ranks, but 바카라사이트re remains a question mark over whe바카라사이트r governments in o바카라사이트r markets have 바카라사이트 sustained investment in 바카라사이트ir leading universities to match China¡¯s performance,¡± he added.

In total, 35 countries feature in 바카라사이트 top 200, including 16 for 바카라사이트 first time, such as Romania, Greece, Nigeria, Kenya and Qatar. Mr Baty said this partly reflects 바카라사이트 decision to expand 바카라사이트 list from 100 to 200 universities and to increase 바카라사이트 number of countries eligible for inclusion to 48. This is because countries defined by 바카라사이트 FTSE as ¡°frontier economies¡± have been included, in addition to ¡°advanced emerging¡± and ¡°secondary emerging¡±, as in previous years.
