Лавиринти политичке глобализације
The Labyrinth of Political Globalization

Summary/Abstract: Political globalization is fundamentally reshaping the political map of the world. It represents an objective global process of creating a more dense network of connectivity, interaction between countries and spreading of democracy and human rights. On one hand ,,the end of national states‘‘ is being proclaimed, and on the other, legions of new independent countries are being formed. Creation of liliputanian, weak countries -- transmission belts of super-national centers of decision making, is followed by the creation of powerful super-national states, the prototype being the European Union, and of one all-powerful super-state. Globalization is the striving and realization of interests of the ruling, neoliberal wing of the global power elite. By acquiring command positions in international economic institutions, its doctrine (,,The Washington Consensus‘‘, ,,The Program of Structural Adjustment‘‘, ,,Shock Therapy‘‘) is creating a way for creating a global economy and at the same time decides on the form and character of the global order in its becoming. The next phase which comes as a necessity of the global economic area and the need to realize a disciplined implementation of unique rules of behavior, consists of the request to constitute political power in the form of a super-national state. The global power elite strives to create a ,,transnational para-state‘‘, with embryonic elements of the classical Webber's approach to the state: ,,a legitimate monopoly on force over a certain territory‘‘. National states are transformed into pure local executors and the ,,end‘‘ of national sovereignty becomes an organic part of the project of authoritarian globalization. The alternative to authoritarian political globalization is not isolation, anti-globalization fundamentalism (this is the way to the ghetto-society, and a way to support local authoritarian regimes), but the democratization of the global political order.
