Abstract
 
Since the beginning of the 21st century, the rapid economic growth of emerging market economies represented by China, India and Russia has changed the international economic pattern. The rise of these emerging market economies has created a dynamic relationship with the Neo-liberal order that is both competitive and cooperative. In production structure, emerging markets tend to guide resource allocation and promote industrial development through government policies. Although this model is different from the market-oriented principle advocated by Neo-liberalism, it also shows the effectiveness of state power under specific conditions. In financial structure, while attracting foreign capital through marketization and liberalization, emerging markets also try to manage short-term capital flow through policy regulation to maintain financial stability, showing a balanced integration strategy with the Neo-liberal financial liberalization principle. In knowledge structure, emerging market economies face significant advantages over developed countries and their technology companies, especially in high-tech R&D and intellectual property, which has led them to rely heavily on and integrate into the existing Neo-liberal knowledge order. The relationship between emerging markets and Neo-liberalism is not binary, but highly complex. In the ever-changing international pattern, emerging market economies should cooperate with developed countries to play an active role, overcoming the logic trap of duality.
