How bad will 3rd world countries be affected?

Obviously it will depend entirely on what the SHTF scenario is, but how do you think 3rd world countries would fare compared to us in a situation like a global economic collapse?

It would be an interesting shift of balance as we're talking about countries that are used to managing with very little, but often already have extremely high crime rates and questionable governments.

Personally I'd expect a pretty big die off and power changing hands regularly with a spate of revolutions. But that being said, there are a number of third world countries with huge supplies of oil and other resources. If a global economic crash led to a decrease in the interconnectivity between nations, could we see some of those third world countries taking control of their resources and emerging among the leading powers of the world?
