One can find multiple reasons, why companies, regions or nations group together into entities or networks, but there exists several key reasons. Among them: the phenomena of globalization, technological progress, new global opportunities and risks, higher customer requirements and higher value of information and know-how. Globalization is the dynamic complex of processes that has opened; linked and unified the globe since the end of the 19th century. Such unification has not had an occurrence before, even in the time of the Roman Empire. But it is obvious that globalization has never led to the rapid economic rise all over the world, but it has led to the bigger differences between rich and poor. This work concerns on the identification of the economic globalization in terms of its evolution in the first part of this article and on the actual development of globalization and related trends and risks in the second part.

Sociologists had been facing tremendous difficulties in conceptualizing the changes in Eastern Europe after 1989. The politically attractive concept of transition turned out to be a scientific blind alley. It only superficially took the varieties in societal development into account. The fashionable concepts of cultural trauma or civilizational deficits neglected the structural dimensions of change. A return to long neglected concepts of society and societal change became unavoidable. Concepts of societal transformation took the lead in the efforts to describe, explain and eventually prognosticate the ongoing processes. However, it became increasingly clear that the focus on the transformation of particular societies did no more correspond to the social situation and the needs of social sciences. Methodological societalism had to be replaced by methodological globalism. The present paper exemplifies this methodological and theoretical shift by focusing on conditions, manifestations and effects of four global trends: upgrading the rationality of organizations, individualization, spreading of instrumental activism and universalization of value-normative systems.
