Can one talk about identities corresponding to the periphery-center relation, identities that are an individual aspect of a group’s position on the developmental axis, or that position in the global system of power and authority? It appears that this supposition is not without sense or foundation. A peripheral identity is related to a sense of exclusion, marginalization, being undervalued, inferiority complex, backwardness, being ‘worse’, and isolated. This can inspire various resentments, aggression, hatred, a will to win appreciation at any cost, and retaliation. It can also produce stagnation and resignation, or cause mass migration to the actual or apparent center because ‘life goes on somewhere else’ and one should not waste it in the peripheries,doomed to an existence without any prospects of positive change. A centrist identity is primarily the political version of ethnocentrism, most frequently tinted with nationalism. The feeling that we are the center of the world may have nothing in common with the geopolitical, cultural or economic reality. Since we are in the center, by definition we are better off, in any aspect that counts. A centrist identity identifies the group interest with the global interest, and it ignores the interests of the peripheries, which tend to be despised. The tendency to treat other cultures as peripheral towards our own is deeply rooted in common thinking, as well as in cultural anthropology. ‘Centrist patriotism’ can transform into chauvinism and lead to a justification for discrimination of the peripheries in many ways.

THE PROBLEM OF globalization and its influence on various walks of socio-economic and political life but also on culture and international relationships is in the centre of interest of scientists and humanists. For more than 20 years or so, there have been plenty of publications presented concerning globalization issues. As some authors aptly notice, the aforementioned growth, in the number of expert publications, does not go hand in hand with better understanding of the globalization process, its aspects and effects. The article presents different ways of defining this phenomenon as well as a critical overview of expert literature that raises those issues. The concept of globalization and the most significant characteristics of globalization were polemically analyzed. The subject matters of the analysis are various approaches towards globalization and attempts of defining this concept by various authors. As this concept refers to the areas of economic, political, social and cultural activities, it in fact infiltrates all areas of human life all over the world. Since there exist various approaches and interpretations of globalization as a kind of process or phenomenon that characterizes contemporary integration of economy, culture, sciences and societies on a global scale, it is not possible to determine one, generally accepted definition of word globalization. From a selective overview of multiple definitions of globalization, one can draw a conclusion that globalization is quite ambiguous and very difficult to be exactly defined. As some researchers of this process accurately notice, in economic and political literature this notion is used to define both some processes and political phenomena and the effects of these processes. Notwithstanding what definition one or the other accepts, it shall be agreed, that globalization means tightening the correlation between individual countries, nations and regions of the world and globalization is a process that integrates all contemporary world, not only world economy.
