Abstract
The processes of globalisation, which have accelerated since the last decade of the 20th century, have had an impact on the formation of both national and local culture. Their impact, however, has been very ambiguous and perceived in various ways. Local and national cultures have also had an impact on global processes: global culture is now shaped not only by dominant civilisations or great nations. To some extent, everyone participates in this process – all cultures. On the one hand, we can see the mutual reinforcement of local and global processes, and on the other hand, more noticeable today, we see tensions between what is local and what is global. These struggles permeate social reality in various spheres and at various levels. The aim of this article is to identify the most common areas of conflict and synergy, to determine their sources and nature, and then attempt to discuss and present a new perspective on these mutual relationships in order to eliminate as many areas of conflict as possible.
