If globalization is supposed to present an advantage to developing countries, why have there been so many setbacks? Indeed, both sides will have its winners and losers regardless of which side of the development coin they live on, but for the most part globalization has lifted millions out of poverty, improved the standard of living, and increased life expectancy rates all while keeping developed nations relatively competitive to their developing counterparts. Globalization’s value is that it seeks to create an economic equilibrium in the world, where parties are free from barriers and can benefit from one another through a more efficient allocation of resources. This allows all participating nations to contribute to an integrated economy and where all nations willing to embrace globalization have the potential to benefit. Regardless, the path to successful integration to the global economy has not always been easy. There is contention towards globalization as some argue that it is detrimental to developed nations, while many developing countries that were forced to hastily open up their markets and integrate failed. However, if implemented properly, globalization has proven that it can benefit all parties involved and that the potential gains outweigh the losses.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has taken a growing and extraordinary role in international business. Foreign investment has had a positive impact on the United States’ general economic growth through the creation of employment, attraction of capital investments, and expansion of manufactured exports.

Carkovic and Levine (2002) endeavored to reassess the connection amid FDI and commercial development for 72 states above the era 1960-1995. Their aftermath indicated that for both industrialized and growing economies FDI inflows did not exert an autonomous impact on commercial growth. Specifically the exogenous constituent of FDI did not exert a reliable affirmative encounter on commercial development, even permitting for the level of education, the level of commercial progress, the level of commercial progress and transactions openness of the recipient country.
