Assessing the Impacts of Globalization on Local Governance: A Systematic Review

Globalization has immensely influenced local governance worldwide. It has had a significant impact on rural communities, particularly on the socio-economic life of vulnerable sections. Globalization has adversely affected the capacity of local institutions and the resilience of rural vulnerable communities. Besides, its benefits are more accessible to the urban population in India than the rural population. The review aims to meticulously assess how globalization impacts local governance, particularly in rural areas, by synthesizing existing literature. The study mainly tries to identify a gap in the research concerning the impacts of globalization on the rural local bodies through systematic review methods, including bibliometric analysis and Prisma flow chart.
