First of all GDP isn't the best measure of development, look at the United Nations Development Programme Human Development report, and they use a Human Development Index.  According to that on the African continent (excluding the wealthier islands of Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives and Cabo Verde) the most developed country in the continent are the arab countries of Libya and Tunisia, followed by Egypt, then South Africa and Equatorial Guinea.  These are the UNDP rankings.\n\nLooking behind the figures, I'd say that actually Tunisia is doing best in the whole of the African continent, far beyond South Africa (89the for Tunisia 120th for South Africa) SA has a high infant mortality and HIV/AIDS rate (21.5%!!!).  Highest HIV/AIDS rate is in Botswana a horrifying 37.3%.  Other countries in Southern Africa have high GDP including Botswana and even Zimbabwe, but the high HIV/AIDS rate affects all other development indicators so much that it pulls the country down in the human development report.  \n\nSo yes, South Africa is the richest and most developed in Sub-Saharan Africa, but they have a huge problem with HIV/AIDS.  Gabon is probably the richest simply because it's an oil exporter and has a very small population of about 2 million people.  Government there is notoriously bad, so it's not likely to develop much further any time soon.  Better government is usually found in countries with a larger population and regular elections like Ghana, Senegal, Mozambique, and even Nigeria now.  \n\nNow looking at Sub-Saharan Africa the situation is trickier, since the indicators don't give away which country has the best prospects to develop further.  Depending on how the AIDS crises develops there are two scenarios, either Southern Africa sinks in human development or AIDS is tackled (which can be done with the drugs already available) and it starts to grow.  Otherwise I have a feeling that countries like Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and the small countries like Gabon, Equatorial Guinea etc will lead the way.  Even Angola has a more limited AIDS rate of 3.9% and a relatively high GDP of 900$ so it can start growing much faster if proper government is in place.

McDonaldization is a form of globalization.

I don't know of an actual quantitative or qualitative scale to measure a country's development.   However there is a litmus test that economists generally use to measure how developed a country is.  You see how industrialized it is.  What kind of exporting or importing it does, how much foreign dependency it has.

The impact can be described in one word... globalization. Globalization reforms are actually going to boost India's economy enormously and make them a viable global market competitor to be taken very serious.

Globilization generally refers to the relocation of manufacturing, information technology, and services-related jobs from developed countries in Europe and North America to the developing economies of India, China, and Central America.\n\nThe benefit to companies is access to lower wage workforces in developing countries to reduce labor costs. Companies that can use low cost labor to produce products can realize a much greater profit margin and return to shareholders.\n\nAnother angle on globalization is corporations who relocate      overseas and reap a winfall of tax benefits and loop hole exemptions. Globalization is a wonderful break for corporations and will even the playing field between developed and developing countries.

Globalization is expanding trade between countries throughout the world, but not just trade as in material goods, but culture and knowledge too. The positives are that things tend to become cheaper in general, and relations between countries improve, and cultural trade increases, so people tend to become more tolerant and smarter. The negatives are that industries in a certain country might disappear because of competition from other countries (like fruits in America due to competition from Mexico, for example), and that people tend to become less tolerant because they're forced to meet more people that they'd rather not. So, it's good in general, but bad for certain groups, and these certain groups are large enough that their issues need to be considered.

All the african nations recently have made an impact on the world stage - Nigeria, Cameroon and Senegal especially. To be honest I think Togo and Angola might not create too many shocks, they are in tough groups with seasoned campaigners but I would be very wary of the Ivory Coast

Ghana is a developing country borderlining on poverty. The difference between industrial and developing countries are ,a developing country still has yet to establish enough exports to sustain it's own economy.

Le meilleur moyen est de développer le football en Afrique. Il faut mettre en place de solides infrastructures et permettre aux jeunes de d'abord jouer dans leur pays un petit moment puis éventuellement de venir tenter l'aventure en Europe. Donc rendre plus compétitifs les équipes nationales africaines et dynamiser leur économie.

Nigeria and South Africa have been traditionally strong teams, but I'm going to go with another reoccurring African power (as opposed to any of this year's teams, which are all first timers to the World Cup (final 32))..... Cameroon!!  But it may take 20-30 years.

Well there's the debate whether if those effects are positive or negative in first and third world countries.  In a little more than 10 years after the creation of the WTO the world's poor nations became poorer and the rich nations wealthier.  I think any economic policy to be implemented ought to involve social development as well... it doesn't make sense to make the global exchange more efficient if the majority of people will suffer from it in the end.
