Summary:Advancing a holistic theory that explains emerging geographical configurations of the world economy is both ambitious and particularly arduous when it involves concepts without consensus - in their meanings and significance - such as rising powers, BRICS, and MINT.

In this research note two interpretations are offered, one that closely follows Ray Hudson's analysis of a 'new new international division of labor', and another that may serve as an alternative interpretation, which is buttressed by evidence from recent development in Asia.
