Abstract	Globalization is the dramatic change in the world economy, a situation in which across the border exchange activities and economic integration are becoming more intense between nations across a worldwide economic system. The paper discusses the multifaceted faces of globalization pressure on developing countries and identifies key benefits that result from such growth, as well as significant challenges. It illustrates how technology development, improved communication, and growing international trade are some of the more obvious drivers of globalization, as well as bring out the complex interface between global forces and local conditions. The main focus of this research is to present a comprehensive review of the negative and positive impacts of globalization on developing nations. The study epitomizes the enormous benefits accruable from increased market access, foreign direct investment, transfer of technology, and improvement in living standards. Opening to larger international markets helps the developing countries to diversify their economies and accelerate growth. For instance, both China and India use globalization to achieve high rates of economic growth by increasing trade and investment opportunities. It has also made vital capital and technological expertise available and has promoted much-needed industrialization and productivity enhancement. Technology transfer has enabled developing nations to step into the modernization of their industry for a more productive integration of the country into global value chains. This, in turn, will enable them to achieve higher economic growth rates and an improved standard of living. Despite such positive contributions from globalization, there are still some challenges that come along and really inhibit development. It addresses crucial backwardness, including increasing income disparity, high vulnerability to external economic shocks, and environmental degradation. In as much as globalization may result in economic growth, the accruing benefits are usually distributed very unequally, and often heighten disparities between urban and rural areas, thereby occasioning social tensions. Developing countries that are heavily dependent on exports or foreign investment may face severe economic instability during a global financial crisis. These impacts were clearly felt in most developing economies when the global financial decline occurred in 2008. Their quests for economic growth, however, have often been accompanied by unsustainable practices that bring with them environmental degradation in the form of deforestation, pollution, and the depletion of resources. Considering these benefits and challenges of globalization, some recommendations in the study for developing countries include:. These comprise domestic institution building to manage the increased complexities from globalization, investment in education and skills development to improve human capital and reduce job displacement, sustainable practices that reduce environmental impacts, and inclusive growth that allows the fruits of globalization to be equitably distributed. This will enable developing nations to manage the increased complexities from globalization and ensure sustainable economic development for their citizens. This study, in short, tried to reflect on various dimensions of globalization concerning developing countries, explaining how these could unleash economic growth, while their challenges naturally came with the process. Grasping these dynamics is crucial for policy makers, researchers, and stakeholders who seek to capitalize on the opportunities of globalization so that its fruits are equitably distributed and the negative impacts well mitigated.
