GLOBALIZATION AND POLITICS

U tekstu se prikazuje i vrednuje odnos globalizacije i politike u novijim djelima Ulricha Becka. Razmatrajući pitanja globalizacije, globalizma i globaliteta, Beck odgovorom na izazove globalizacije smatra kozmopolitsku državu. Stoga se u tekstu analitički razmatraju pitanja može li Europa biti odgovor na globalizaciju te može li ideja kozmopolitizma naslijediti ideje 20. stoljeća.The text provides a presentation and appraisal of the relation between globalization and politics in Ulrich Beck’s recent works. Engaging with the issues of globalization, globalism and globality, Beck propounds the following answer to globalization challenges – the cosmopolitan state. Consequently, the text analytically examines whether Europe could be the answer to globalization, and whether the idea of cosmopolitism could bear forth the heritage of ideas which marked the twentieth century
