English term

emerging countries

English to German Social Sciences Government / Politics Entwicklungsländer
Es geht um eine Rede von Tony Blair, in der er das Opt-out mit der Angabe verteidigt, das Europa dem Wettbewerb mit den "emerging countries" gewachsen sein muss. "Noch unterentwickelte Länder" habe ich gefunden, aber ich finde, das trifft es nicht ganz. Hat jemand einen besseren Vorschlag? Danke im Voraus, Barbara
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Edith Kelly

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Schwellenländer

I usually translate (the other way round, of course!) Schwellenländer to emerging countries. I've seen the term used quite a lot.
