Issues of Globalisation: New Views on the Society and the Youth?

Summary/Abstract: Issues of Globalisation: New Views on the Society and the Youth? The process of supranational and suprastate globalisation became a policy issue in many developed countries of the world. In variety of its dimensions, globalisation represents a new plurality of relations between the state and the society, overcoming their traditional territorial unity. In this sense it means the breaking of the unity of national state and national society. Globalisation of society leads only to a global society, not to global state or even global government. There are considered at least ten sources of the globalisation of society, transcending the original territorial and state characteristics. The four accompanying signs of globalisation are criminality, tourism, military research and especially the youth, supporting the idea of globalisation. The process of the globalisation of society is synchronised with the process of its regionalisation, as well as the processes of integration and centralisation are concurrently accompanied with the processes of fragmentation and decentralisation. A new term can be proposed - ”glocalisation” - which express the mutual conjunction of globalisation and localisation (regionalisation). The development of the European countries confirms the hypothesis about the denationalisation of so called national societies. In the conclusion, author appeals to analyse the process of globalisation of what was until now called the Slovak society within the framework of global and interdisciplinary knowledge.
