ABSTRACT
This chapter places a particular focus on the role of emerging powers in a modern concert of great powers and introduces the concept of ownership as a means of increasing emerging powers’ satisfaction with a potential concert and curbing their revisionist impulses in global governance. The authors define ownership as the degree to which members embrace a concert and its norms. They stress that the concept entails both control over the concert’s aims and a commitment to undertaking relevant actions and that ownership can be enhanced in both a structural and a process-related way.
