Globalisation - challenges, rewards, question

Vladimír JENÍČEK
Faculty of International Relations, University of Economics, Prague, Czech Republic

Globalisation is at the beginning of the new century a double-edged weapon: a strong driving force of economic growth, the development of new technologies and the growth of the level of living in the poor as well as rich countries, but also a controversory process which damages national sovereignty, undermines the local culture and traditions and presents a threat of the economic and social non-stability. The key question of the 21st century then is, whether the states will be able to keep the process under control or whether they will become its victims.

Keywords: globalisation, positives, problems, asymmetry, risks, agrarian dimension of globalisation
