GLOBALIZATION DRAMA
Miroslav Pečujlić
Belgrade
The chief argument of this article is to be found in the extremely dramatic complications of globalization. The miraculous technological, economic and cultural hights that man has attained provide an unimagined power for creating a more humane, peace-loving and democratic "World Society". However, at the same time their dark side becomes overpowering, turning the global arena into a World Society of risk. The democratic image of globalization or the Orwellian repressive world regime and an unbridled upsurge of risk are at stake. The new era brings about a new, epochal perspective: integration into a single and united European Union, the process of which will, however, have different rhythms for different European states.

Key words:  the light and dark side of globalization, new global empire, European Union.

DRAMA GLOBALIZACIJE
Poentu izlaganja čine krajnje dramatični zapleti globalizacije. Čudesne tehnološke, ekonomske, i kulturne sile koje je čovek osvojio poseduju neslućenu moć stvaranja humanijeg, miroljubivog i demokratskog "Svetskog društva". No, istovremeno njihova tamna strana postaje nadmoćnija, pretvara svetsku arenu u Svetsko društvo rizika. Na kocki je demokratski lik globalizacije ili orvelovski svetski represivni poredak i nezadrživ uspon rizika. Novo doba donosi novu, epohalnu perspektivu: integraciju u jedinstvenu Evropsku Uniju, koja će, međutim, za različite evropske države teći različitim ritmovima.

Ključne reči: svetla i tamna strana globalizacije, nova globalna imperija, Evropska Unija.
