Abstract

You cannot reduce globalization merely to an increased economic exchange between countries or to technological cooperation, it also has a significant political-social and thus interactive—cultural component. Now there is a cultural connection and exchange worldwide or even just regionally much longer than the recently renewed increased economic networking or the formation of organizations of global governance. Just think of the importance of classical (Greek-Roman) literature, philosophy and art for all of Europe (and beyond) up to modern times, the connection of values, beliefs and traditions created by the Christian churches throughout the Christian world—and other world religions elsewhere—and the international exchange of ideas between scientists inside and outside of universities and academies long before the increase in cross-border trade and financial transactions.
