Globalization. A Croatian Point of View

Sažetak
The European entrepreneurial undertaking, in the form of an equipped and armed merchant ship, ready to circumnavigate and conquer the Globe, created the modern world as a world with one side only: the mondialised West. To be globalised today, such a world has to be re-made as a new net, but now as a new multitask and multidirectional entrepreneurial feedback. Contemporary global liberal interventionism and governmental entrepreneurship are segmented today into a dangerously simplified multitask global pyramid of governance through one-directional cascades. For a real globalisation, this process has to be two-directional at least: from the center to the periphery – but from the periphery to the center, too. Otherwise, at the beginning of a new “centennial trend” and a “great cycle”, there is the risk that the collapse of the liberal civilization of the 19th century could be repeated, once again due to the weakness of the world system peripheries. The question how to strengthen the “anonymous” global cultural and political processes of that two-directional kind is becoming the central global and strategic issue for today’s politics and political science. It has turned out that these processes in the real global environment could be successfully analyzed and effectively made use of only with the complete unreduced methodical front of all the fields of political science i.e. a whole set of expertly managed public policies. From the historically based Croatian point of view, its opportunity for integration into the world center was always in finding a world-market “niche”, never in creating a mini-empire or in controlling a mondialized or a mega-national net. Without a methodically global political science approach, leaning on Central European and Mediterranean cultural and political science traditions, such Croatian interests will not be fulfilled.
