Abstract
At this point in our considerations we must give attention to one of the key processes taking place in our world today, altogether known to us as the process of globalization, where we will meet again with a number of topics mentioned in previous discussions. This time, however, we will look at them from a somewhat different standpoint: not the traditional sociological perspective bounded by the concept of society in the framework of nation state, as is usual in examining most sociological problems, but a glance from the level of what Niklas Luhmann once called “world society” (Weltgesellschaft) (Luhmann 1990: 175–190; 2012: 83–99).
