Abstract: Back in 1990 the Report of the South Commission - in a nod to I. Wallerstein's 'The Modern World - System', qualified developing countries (also called the South) as 'largely bypassed by the benefits of prosperity and progress', 'unfavorably placed in the world economic system' and 'existing on the periphery of the developed countries of the North'. Who would have imagined that after nearly 25 years - a short period from an historical perspective, the global economic landscape would be radically changed, with developing countries having a prominent role in the world economy and their dependency substituted by significant shares in world trade and FDI flows. Based on historical and comparative analyses, this paper examines the economic rise of developing countries and outlines the key factors behind the vast economic transformation.
