Nowadays, globalization affects almost all aspects of social life. It is sensible to respond flexibly to these trends and to be prepared for their benefits or potential risks. The local self-government represented by municipalities has an increasingly important role in the economic development of individual regions of Slovakia. Are municipalities prepared for the process of globalization and its impacts? Do they have tools in their hands to respond to its trends? One of the most important tasks of the municipality is to serve as an activator of regional, social and economic development and to influence the conditions for entrepreneurship by attracting potential investors to start business activities in the municipality territories. The new entrepreneurial activities and investments are a potential source of new job opportunities resulting in increased living standards of the local residents. This paper deals with indicators that express the financial capacity of the municipality and thus the ability of the municipality to participate in the process of development of a particular region. The analysis evaluates data obtained from financial statements of Slovak municipalities for year 2017. Its results show that the available financial resources of municipalities are limited and therefore the municipalities are unable to support regional development from their own financial sources.

Whether globalization is sustainable is a contested issue. The quantitative literature on the Maastricht Globalization Index (MGI) and the KOF index of globalization shows that globalization contributes positively to economic and human development, environmental performance, mortality, gender equality and physical integrity rights. However, globalization also drives within-country income inequality, especially in developing countries. Evidence on the effects of globalization on the ecological environment does not provide clear patterns; various dimensions of globalization have different effects on various pollutants. This article analyzes the statistical relationship between the most recent MGI (2012 edition) and the ecological dimension of sustainable development. The latter will be operationalized by considering four variants of the Ecological Footprint. The relation between globalization and sustainable development will be controlled for GDP per capita as a proxy for affluence and report the results for Pearson's correlations and multivariate regressions for up to 171 countries. We conclude that the overall index of globalization significantly increases the Ecological Footprint of consumption, exports and imports. The decomposition of globalization into different domains reveals that apart from the political dimension, all dimensions drive human pressures and demands on the environment. Globalization needs to go into new directions if it is to make a contribution toward all aspects of sustainable development.

“…One of the most commonly used indices was A.T. Kearney/Foreign Policy Magazine Globalisation index, introduced in 2001 and calculated annually until 2006. Although index is no longer renewed, it still is considered one of the most important globalisation indices historically, since number of other attempts to measure globalisation were based on its structure (Martens et al, 2015;Kluver & Fu, 2004). Now the most commonly used index is KOF Globalisation index, introduced in 2006 and still continuously revised on an annual basis.…”

This paper aims to evaluate what effect globalisation has on economic growth of developing countries. Globalisation is measured by economic, political and social dimensions of KOF Globalisation index, also the overall globalisation score of the same index. In cases of economic and overall globalisation, trade balance was considered. Empirical analysis was done using two-step system GMM model. The results show that overall globalisation has immediate negative impact on growth, while economic dimension of globalisation has a negative impact in a short run, but a positive impact on economic growth in the long run.
