In this article I will try to answer the question of what factors cause the formation of a new order on the borderlands of the changing social conditions and geopolitical, and they cause tensions and conflicts?

These are the processes of urbanization, modernization, nationalization (nation-building), civilization (“esternization”, “universalization”) and the expected implementation processes of social advancement. They were briefly presented with regard to the real order of their occurrence in practice. In conclusion, I emphasize the low intensity of the processes of a transcultural on the borderlands of Central and Eastern Europe.
