In this paper I would like to present some problems of tradition in the context of globalization and politics, because this notion lies at the heart of contemporary anthropological reflections. In the vocabulary of studies on society and culture the words "tradition" and "traditional" belong to the most commonly used. Today, the current globalization processes have significantly transformed its meaning.
