Abstract

Istraživanje poimanja globalizacije u mnogim je svojim elementima slojevito i difuzno, pa nije jednostavno čak ni navesti sve sfere njene aplikacije, kao ni načine manifestiranja. Multidimenzionalnost određenja globalizacije otežana je i zbog toga što ona nije nekakvo stanje, već proces, pa su teškoće njenog opojmljenja povezane sa tematskim racionalnim odnosom prema samom tom procesu. Nakon analize najpoznatijih definicija globalizacije autor je zaključio da je ona u bitnom smislu povezana sa deteritorijalizacijom i reteritorijalizacijom socio-ekonomskog, političkog i kulturnog prostora. Globalizacija, drukčije rečeno, donosi sa sobom zgušnjavanje tj. kompresiju kako prostora tako i vremena, što uzrokuje rast interpersonalnih veza i veću brzinu i protočnost komunikacije među ljudima. Konačno, globalizacija je, po autoru, kompleksan, ambivalentan pa i proturječan proces, koji omogućava širenje međuzavisnosti i produbljivanje socijalnih veza između različitih faktora u gotovo svim aspektima suvremenog života.The exploring of the concepts of globalization is, in many of its elements, multilayered and diffuse and therefore it is not simple even to list all of the spheres of its application, as well as the ways in which it manifests itself. Multidimensionality of the definition is made even more difficult due to the fact that globalization is not some kind of a state, but a process, so the difficulties of its conceptualization are related to the thematic rational approach to this process. Having analyzed the most famous definitions of globalization, the author concludes that the globalization in its substantiality is related to the de-territorialization and re-territorialization of socioeconomic, political and cultural space. In other words, globalization brings about the density i.e. compression of the space as well as the time, which results in the increase of interpersonal relations and greater velocity and flowability of communication among people. Finally, according to the author, globalization is a complex, ambivalent and also a controversial process, which enables the spread of interconnectedness and deepening of social relations among different factors in almost all aspects of modern life
