Sažetak

The term globalization can be understood and defined in various, sometimes even contradictory manners. Globalization is a process of economic, political, social, and cultural impact on supranational level. It is a process that changes firm geopolitical, political, economic, social, and cultural relations on the global level. The important determinant of this process is the technological development which enables the diminuition of the world both in terms of time and space. This process also has its negative aspects: the danger of forming one ideological concept which would impose universal standards to the interests of each country or interest groups which act as the centres of power and in such a way represent a danger to the diversity and heterogeneity of the world which would in turn function as a global state. Furthermore, globalization presupposes a unique economic area which again means that an economic crisis in one part of the world would have global implications. What we need is not a global state, but the realization of the global solidarity in the issues of the general interest. The sole result of this process is uncertain and depends on all of us.
