Convergenţă, divergenţă şi schimbare culturală în sfera problemelor economice şi politice globale
Convergence, divergence and cultural change in the sphere of global economic and political issues

Summary/Abstract: Globalization refers to a raising economic interdependence among countries, as it is reflected in the increasing flux across borders of the three types of entities: goods and services, capital and knowhow. Globalization expects to lead to a cultural uniformization. A major argument against cultural convergence is that traditionalism and modernity can be independent. Powerful traditional values, such as group solidarity, interpersonal harmony, paternalism and familism, can coexist with modern values of individual accomplishment and competition. While convergence in some fields of international activity is easily noticeable, still in the consumer’s values and way of life there is a significant divergence of cultures.
