 Critical Literature Review
Zhatkanbaeva, A., Zhatkanbaev, J., & Zhatkanbaev, E. (2012). The impact of globalization on "brain drain"
in developing countries. Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 47, pp. 1490-1494.

Hamdi, F. M. (2013). The Impact of Globalization in Developing Countries: A Comprehensive Analysis.

Developing Country Studies, Vol.3(11), pp. 142-144.

The concept of "globalization" is growing in developing countries, with substantial ramifications. This data
analysis assesses its benefits and drawbacks while broadening our understanding of globalization. The first
paper, "The impact of globalization on 'brain drain' in developing countries," by A. Zhatkanbaeva et al.,
investigated the causes and proposed a Kazakhstani approach to tackle the issue of brain drain, drawing
insights from diverse international experiences. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive
measures and human resource development, focusing on improving the quality of education and national
systems to keep up with global trends. The following article by Hamdi, F. M. (2013). The Impact of
Globalization in Developing Countries: A Comprehensive Analysis., which looks at how globalization
affects health, education, culture, and economics. Although they demonstrate the influence of globalization
in several respects, Both provide readers with critical information about the impact of "globalization" in
developing nations.

The 2012 research report by Zhatkanbaeva et al. contends that the international migration of highly
educated workers, known as "brain drain" is a major effect of globalization on developing nations like
Kazakhstan, citing data that 15-20% of university graduates there leave the country due to limited career
prospects. The authors propose an action plan for Kazakhstan that focuses on broad goals, including raising
education levels and developing a national framework that meets international criteria. To address the issues
raised by globalization, the essay advises restructuring scientific and educational institutions and
recognizing brain drain as a significant concern.

Different from the article above, a paper by Hamdi, F. M. (2013) named:" The Impact of Globalization on
Developing Countries: A Comprehensive Analysis" focuses on economic, educational, and cultural aspects.
It is acknowledged that globalization has aided in market reforms, economic expansion, and decreased
poverty. Positive contributions like expanding access to education and enhancing healthcare facilities are
highlighted in the second element. Notwithstanding, issues such as growing disparities, the proliferation of
illnesses, and shifts in cultural norms are recognized. With a focus on economic and development potential,
the overall influence on developing nations is deemed beneficial despite the constraints. Both articles
recognize the impact of globalization on developing countries but emphasize different aspects. While
Zhatkanbaeva et al. (2012) dive into the specific challenges faced by Kazakhstan in terms of brain drain,
Hamdi (2013) offers a more comprehensive examination of globalization's effects on developing countries.

The study of the impact of globalization on the "brain drain" in developing countries provides valuable
insights into the challenges of the brain drain in developing countries, offering a Kazakhstani perspective.
However, the paper mentions the percentage (15%-20%) of university graduates leaving Kazakhstan but
needs concrete statistical data to support this claim. Moreover, the article tends to over-generalize and
adopts a notably opinionated tone. The repetition of certain concepts results are repeated in unwarranted
redundancy. The author should incorporate specific data on the brain drain phenomenon in Kazakhstan,
enhancing citations and refining the structure to contribute to a more impactful and convincing research
report.

The article "The Impact of Globalization in the Developing Countries" by Fairooz Mustafa Hamdi discusses
globalization's benefits and drawbacks across economic and trade processes, education and health systems,
and cultural effects. The language used in the article is generally clear and easy to understand, making it
accessible to a broad audience. The article offers an in-depth examination of how increasing connectivity
between nations, aka globalization, has affected less developed countries in economic, political, and social
realms. The analysis is presented in a readable, understandable format with logical flow and solid
supporting data.

In general, both publications aim to offer a thorough evaluation of how globalization affects developing
nations. The essay by A. Zhatkanbaeva et al. lacks reliable material and includes many of the author's
opinions, making it challenging for readers to understand. Because of some features, such as offering more
precise policy recommendations and combining more recent data, the paper by Hamdi, F. M. (2013) is,
therefore, simple to read, even though it still contains all the required information.
