Sažetak

Globalization in the field of economy and doing business is an old phenomenon. It is not only a process which develops according certain market regularities, i.e. some "invisible hand", but it also forms a process that is inherent to a man as an aspiration towards something new, better and universal. In this context, every society in the past since the Roman times until our era has undergone its own globalization. They differ in grasp and depth of changes, that is in the type of production relations and the manner in which globalism progressed: whether it was by force or not and whether it was to everyone's benefit. In modem history of international economic relations we find globalization as a constant process. Still, there are two time periods in which globalization was largely discussed and more precisely by those environments that made the biggest progress in that field. These periods were in the second half of the 19th century and after the World War II and the beginning of non-aligned movement, which through the Group 77 managed to win from the General Assembly in the 70's Declaration on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order, Programme of Action and Development Strategy of Developing Countries for further decades. As long as the main actors in international relations deal with the globalization issue, which today represents a firm trend in international relations, as a means of deriving benefit and opening new working places, because it will enable them to sell without any restriction in places where they were not able to sell before, then globalization will raise a lot of confrontations and cause even greater antiglobalist riots as it seems that antiglobalists haven't given up after the bloody clashes in Seattle.
