Globalisation and the Great Contemporary Challenges

Stefan Ciochinaru

Abstract :

The race towards integration has become more competitive in a world where the most powerful states in the world are striving to complete their integratation process. The European Union, the ASEAN, NAFTA, the Arab League, MERCOSUR are a few examples. Moreover, the Russian Federation has put forth the prospect of a Eurasian Union. This paper is an attempt to present and analyse the globalisation phenomenon, which emerged towards the end of the �Cold War� and repositioned existing social and political structures under the �global state� formula, while mankind began to pave the way from �the nationstate to global structures�.Consequently, we will focus on the the specific processes that influence the world nowadays, in order to understand the complex and fluid trends of globalisation as a possibility to restructure and renew continents and even the world system in its entirety
