Globalization is a phenomenon with economic, social, and political consequences because of the spread of the market economy in the whole world. This phenomenon causes major consequences in the life of societies. Societies united economically with the globalization process, but seem to be socio-psychologically separated. These socio-psychological separations need to be addressed in the context of globalization psychology, nationalism psychology, and populism psychology. The study endeavor to understand the motivation of the increasing populist wave by presenting the psychology of the globalization process and the psychology of populist/nationalist movements that emerged as anti-globalization in this process. This study deals with globalization psychology in the context of individual, large group (national) and, small group psychology and tries to evaluate the results of globalization in the context of nationalism psychology and populism psychology.

A developmental state is both a theoretical construct and a description of the political economy of certain nations, primarily in East Asia, over a specified time period. Theoretically, a developmental state is a particular type of state with a high degree of autonomy and solid institutional competence, allowing it to undertake a series of effective state-interventionist policies in pursuit of developmental objectives. Statism and state autonomy underpin the conceptual framework of the developmental state. The developmental state defied the neoclassical orthodoxy in development economics. Despite lacking the attributes of the mainstream neoclassical consensus in development economics and facing an uphill battle from such institutions, developmental states in various regions of the world have achieved high levels of economic growth. This study seeks to investigate the developmental state trajectories of Mauritius in relation to vital elements of developmental states. In an effort to do so, this study poses the following question: "What accounts for Mauritius' development state success in Africa?". By looking at the link between institutional building and economic performance, the study finds that Mauritius has replicated key developmental state institutions, including embedded and autonomous bureaucracy, making it one of Africa's most successful developmental states.
