Sažetak
Flows of cultural changes in nowdays are rapidly accelerated because of the globalization processes and their impact, even on the level of common people’s life. It is achieved through the development of technologies, emergence of global communication network and exchange of huge amounts of information. That way, cultural elements are mingling, causing shift in culture patterns of certain societies. Through the internalizing of these patterns, national cultures in a way becoming global. Process also goes vice versa, but main course is from developed to underdeveloped, from west to the rest. Beside the specific national and local conditions, these circumstances are framing the context of contemporary political processes in democratizing world. Transitions from authoritarian rule and construction of democracy are under strong impact of these processes. In one hand, that impact comes from outside, i.e. changes are influenced by political and economic pressure of institutions of global governance and neoliberal global market economy. But in other hand, impact comes from inside, particularly from the new political awareness created through the cultural shift. It is about a kind of reflexive modernization and political learning process, which are fostering civic culture and accelerating democratic changes. Later impact is much more important for democratic perspective of those societies, and this article aims to analyze the way in which it takes place.
