1. Introduction Poverty has been one of the drawbacks in economic development activities. Coleman (1999) argues that the lack of access to capital in less developed countries resulted in severe poverty in those countries. Everything around the people in Less Developed Countries (LDCs) revolves in a cyclical and unpredictable manner, whereby access to little or no capital and the production on a very small-scale basis makes it more unbear-able for the individuals to accumulate savings, acquire relevant
money and products between countries that is happening because of international trade and advances in transportation and communication. Globalization might be seen as a recent development but really International trade has influenced changes across the borders for centuries.

it serves as an advantage for the developing countries to compete in the global market while others were of the opinion that it favors the developed countries by making them richer (Giddens, A. 1999). Due to these debates, it can be said that globalization has its negative and positive sides. This essay will focus on how globalization has impacted the economy of Kosovo. Kosovo has faced a lot of economic crises, being one of the poorest countries

production in relation with the ongoing socio-economic and cultural lifestyle. To explain how technical progress can emerge in a society, there are different approaches which are used. The most renowned approach on the significance of innovation was developed, that implicitly shows how technical progress emerges in a process called “creative destruction” (Arthur, 2009). The Schumpeterian Paradigm: “Creative Destruction” The crucial notions in the “Schumpeterian Paradigm” are that output growth requires
Globalization is a continuously growing process by which the flow and unification of ideas, goods, materials, technologies, and people between countries are interconnected, a process maintained and powered by investments and information technology. The historical existence and continuous persistence of Globalization has made it so difficult to actually define its future, therefore also not simply easy to say it is bad or good. But one thing is obvious it is inevitable “Is Bad” or “Is Good”. The overwhelming

Observing the spatial disparities today, reveals that these are not only visible between the different countries. Indeed, they are also more pronounced between regions of the same country in accordance with their level of development. In the Morocco although significant progress is being made, at the national level, interregional inequalities persist. The indicators show strong disparities in the development of different regions, which differentiates the living environment of the inhabitants and
start-ups in developed and developing countries Population growth in developed countries is slow as compared to in developing countries like Asia and Africa it remains very high. The UN estimates show how population is growing in Asia by 2050. The developing countries already has made 80% of world’s population. This percentage will increase in coming time. At the same time some of these countries are becoming richer and by 2050 they may be no longer listed in the list of developing countries. So the
rapid population growth. On the one hand, population growth is not the only, or even the primary, source of low levels of living, eroding self-esteem, and limited freedom in developing nations. On the other hand, rapid population growth in many countries and regions is not a serious intensifier and multiplier of those integral components of ununderdevelopment, especially the first and third (Pritchett 1994:1-55). In spite of what may appear to be seriously conflicting arguments about the positive
