Assuring economic growth and development without neglecting the requirement for environmental sustainability has become the most debatable topic in recent international forums. As a result, researchers and decision-makers are now focusing on green growth instead of traditional economic growth. Several factors that influence green growth have been studied in the literature to date, however, the impact of foreign direct investment, trade openness and financial development is relatively unexplored.

Postmodernism has a broad scope of concern especially for the dynamic global changes such as nuclear proliferation, war and environmentalism. From the analysis of the poems, it can be s.....
