Sažetak

The paper discusses the general thesis that globalism, regardless of whether it represents the 20th century ideologies, on the basis of which it was originally created, or simply an indeterminate collection of ideas, has influenced, together with globalization as an umbrella term, world events over the past several decades, in social, economic, political and cultural spheres. The emphasis is placed on economic and political spheres. In the end, ecologism is presented as a possible alternative to omnipresent pollution of our planet, caused by uncontrolled increase of both population and industry, aided by new technological »solutions«. The »Fourth World« is mentioned to spark interest in those looking for a solution from »distancing and blasé attitude of an urban person«. Finally, the paper ends with the conclusion that globalism represents a particular type of contemporary ideology, whose power is not only in the powerful actors and social groups that promote it, but also in its ability to combine different segments from past ideologies, thus becoming a powerful ideological medium applicable to almost the entire world.
