Sažetak

The fear of globalization is spreading around the world. From the point of view of common people or from a micro-perspective, the paraphrase of Engels’ well-known saying really seems to be true. With this paper I would primarily like to pose some questions, because the answers are yet hard to find. Globalization did not appear yesterday or in recent times. It has been occurring in cycles throughout the human existence, in times of wars led by great conquerors and in their vast empires that generally failed, while common people only served to fulfill someone’s ambitions (sick ones – sic!). So, if we have a look back toward the past, we can conclude that the great conquerors such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Charlemagne, crusaders, Hitler, Stalin and numerous minor (or less known) dictators and conquerors actually wanted the world for their very own. None of them cared about traditions of other, smaller nations, but they all wanted to impose their own culture and civilization or, better to say, their own ways of thinking.
