Abstract
The author is dealing with the term of globalization and he explains how different disciplines (economy, political science, sociology) perceive this term from different angles. As far as states are concerned, they have swapped the term international with the term global. The author also mentions observations of the experts who treat globalization as a positive phenomenon, but he also refers to theories to the contrary. In this context, the author deals with the works of Huntington, Kissinger and Brzezinski. Special attention is given to position and significance of Europe today. Referring to Becar, the author concludes that it goes without saying that there can be no answer to globalization without taking heed of Europe. That answer can only be given in the spirit of European tradition and thus it should be antihegemonistic and antiglobalist.
