I.Introduction.
Globalization has a significant contribution for achieving significant economic growth particularly in developing countries. Globalization in terms of trade liberalization and foreign direct investment has created unique opportunities to emerging economies and promotes sustainable growth and development. Empirical data and statistics provide substantial evidence that exposure to global economy has significantly boosted the economic growth in many developing countries especially in Asian countries like China, India , Japan and Singapore. China and India together account for 6.4% of the total world output and integration into global economy plays a vital role behind it. Most of the nations in the world embrace the changes associated with globalization and growing number of policies are implemented to increase the global integration.
