Sažetak
The author analyzes the current trends of globalization of trade, capital flow, mass media, communication, transport, tourism and economic migrations. However, there is the backflash to the globalizing processes: cultural particularism which has mobilized archaic traditions and triggered violent outbreaks of hostilities. Political scientist Francis Fukuyama has pointed out that today the key chalenges to liberal democracy are a miscellany of particularisms: religious fundamentalism, extremist nationalism and fascism and Asian authoritarian paternalism. Samuel Huntington also warns about the dangers of ethnic and cultural particularism. Within such a framework, the phenomenon of "ethnic cleansing" is only an extreme form of the trend which has marked the 20th century - cultural homogenization as a reaction to the problems of multiethnic and multicultural communities. The author is of the opinion that this development need not represent an obstacle for the dialogue and communication among cultures.
