Abstract

So far as the economic indices are concerned the results of becoming global in some countries show a situation in which the dread of globalization on one hand and the opportunities it may bring about on the other have left the developing countries in a state of ambiguity.
In this paper, we explain the effect of globalization on economic growth. For this purpose we choose some developing countries in two groups: more global and less global.
We use a panel data model (1980 -2006) with variables that influence the growth. The results demonstrate the role of variables which are determinant in globalization process such as: Economic Security, economy openness and FDI.
