Abstract

The paper “Globalization and Europeanization “, part of a larger one, focuses on some issues of postmodernism regarding the oldest concepts debated especially by the philosophy of culture between the two wars. Obviously, these well-known studies are considered from the perspective of the new views, using a large bibliography. The author tries to find a “well-balanced” way between these ideas, being neither euro cultist, nor euroskeptical. The idea of this interpretation is that globalization started with the Europeanization and that the European integration has to be made by getting Europenism close to the national realities.
