The central themes in development theory have addressed exclusion\nof social groups, poverty gaps and strategies to overcome development deficits.\nIn order to perceive the spatial structuring of inequality, concepts defining three\nseparate worlds found ubiquitous appreciation and omnipresent adaptation.\nCoinciding with the end of the Cold War the 'endism' debate also suggested the\nend of the 'Third World'. Presently it has become apparent that development\ntheories which have ordered global space into three different worlds are\nexperiencing rejuvenated appreciation. Nevertheless, the recourse towards\ntrichotomising the world is not necessarily stimulated by the same concepts as\npreviously. In the era of globalisation and post-developmentalism concepts\nfavouring nation-states as sole reference points have been challenged and\ncriticised, although the debate about failed states has again drawn attention to\nthose entities. The post-9/11 perception of world order, chaos and conflicts has\nstructured the previously acknowledged limitation of resources and the\nimpossibility of catching-up strategies for developing countries in such a manner\nthat 'new' Third World theories point at the exclusion from the developed world\nof outsiders, by attributing them pre-modern levels of state development and\nsovereignty. A prominent result of this debate is a perception of ordered space\nalong lines which seemed to have been abandoned some time ago. This paper\ncompares and scrutinises contemporary concepts of dividing the world
