Abstract
History of the social sciences could be followed via keywords that characterize each period of its development. Globalization is a term that suddenly appeared at the end of the last century pushing its brand in the forefront where it still insists. Depending on the viewing angle it is invoked once as a “solution” and other time as “destruction.” At the same time it opens up yet other perspectives; one of them is articulated as glocalization.
