  We study the effect of globalization of world economy between 1980 and 2010
by using network analysis technics on trade and GDP data of 71 countries in the
world. We draw results distinguishing relatively developing and relatively
developed countries during this period of time and point out the standing out
economies among the BRICS countries during the years of globalization: within
our context of study, China and Russia are the countries that already exhibit
developed economy characters, India is next in line but have some unusual
features, while Brazil and South Africa still have erratic behaviors
