Globalisation Processes in the 20th Century

Ksenija Jurišić ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb

Abstract

One of the views on the world at the end of the second millennium can be sublimated in a simple expression: globalisation. The term comprises a number of versatile activities, which complicates the establishment of the concept and its precise definition. This is yet another argument to the claim that mankind today undergoes an all-encompassing transformation of living conditions in almost every aspect. Globalisation is not a state or a new system that would ultimately replace the existing one. It does not relate to values or structure, but to the sequence of our thinking and behaviour. Globalisation ends an era of the domination of the international system based on states as agents of global power. This system has become an insufficient frame within which the political life on a global level can be organised.
