Abstract

The article seeks to prove that local structures obviously have the chance to survive in the globalization era. The fact of certain world regions' marginalization in the contemporary economy is usually associated with the negative consequences of the globalization processes, which, appearing uncontrollably, deepen social inequalities. Mainly, the rich Western countries (in particular the US) benefit from the world integration in the field of information technology, trade and investments. From the practical perspective the globalization reveals a growing contradictions and brings them out. Generally speaking, even amid the theorists of globalization who highlight the inevitability of this process and can spot some positive aspects of it, a state is the only form of political institution which can organize the sphere of international relations. In the above article the indicated examples from the history of the European nations, which enhanced their own cultures in response to the oppression (political, national, religious or economic). The chance to complete homogenization would be real if started from solving of economic and political problems, which are not the main obstacle in this process, however the disappearance of local cultures would not be beneficial.
