Sažetak
In this paper, the processes of cultural stratification are explored as related to the context of globalism. The globalized cultural context enables fast and effective exchange of content, values, symbols, and meanings within the newly created cultural spaces (in Southeast Europe) and thus influences cultural change reflected in the processes of cultural stratification within national cultures. Although the stratification processes are not always fully transparent, standardized, or clearly visible, certain types of culture can be distinguished and these are described here as institutional culture, independent culture, and market-oriented culture. Functional links among these cultural types have not always been entirely established, but they nevertheless lead to different approaches to cultural policy making. An illustration of such situation is put forward by the presentation of the Croatian case. The roles and potential functioning of cultural policies are explored in this respect. It is observed that cultural policies tend to decentralize and diversify ; they tend to encompass an increased cultural production and cultural exchange, but their functional responses to global influences and the issuing cultural stratification are weak and often inconsistent.
