问题: up and coming

The report also identified three potential up and coming powers, all from the Muslim world but not from its Arab core. They are Indonesia, Turkey and Iran.
请问up and coming是什么意思?

解答:

"up and coming" is basically "it is going to come sooner or later"
it is already "up" as a fact, and "coming" on its way, so we know it will arrive.

potential up and coming powers = 潜在的下几个世界强国

up and coming tv program -> the program is there, we already know that, and now we know we are going to see it soon
