Globalization refers to the increasing integration and interconnection of countries through trade, foreign investment, and spread of production. It has both benefits and risks for developing countries. While it provides access to new technologies and markets, small local industries struggle to compete. Developing countries often oppose complete free trade goals of organizations like WTO due to concerns about protecting local industries and national interests. Government policies aim to attract foreign investment through measures like Special Economic Zones but also seek to manage impacts through screening of imports and support for local firms. Overall globalization presents challenges as well as opportunities and countries must negotiate trade agreements carefully.
