The transition from an industrial to an information society is called a post-industrial or post-traditional period. All transitional periods are characterized by non-compliance, deviations of behaviour, various challenges and the changes of values. These imbalances are highly affected by globalization. Breaking up traditions creates preconditions for new crimes that are related to the latest achievements of science and technology. Globalization takes place in the social sphere and covers the most diverse fields of society's activities. It includes the scope of state and other social structures and their environment. Globalization is intensified by internal communication and other connections around the globe. Law, as a regulator of social life, is influenced by it. Globalization opens up new paths in the development of culture and science. It, however, brings equally difficult challenges. Therefore, many future prospects expected from globalization exclude real risks. In history globalization has manifested itself many times by the creation of empires and social and political systems. Primal forms of globalization can be found in ancient history. Whether it was the more cultural and economical than military invasion of the ancient Greeks to other lands, or the physical and spiritual actions of the Romans that led to collapse of the Roman empire by the barbarians, or the voluntary adoption of Christianity and Buddhism virtually by the whole world – these were all manifestations of globalization. Law as a regulator of social life is directly exposed to the challenges of globalization and must respond to the negative effects of globalization. This article is dedicated to the analysis of such challenges.

The history of mankind since ancient times is characterized by trends on a global scale. Modern globalization processes have their origins in the 1960s, and the turning point in their development was the fall of the "socialist camp". The nature, essence and content of globalization cause criticism and concern of scholars and experts, civil society activists. This fact signals the lack of knowledge and proves the need for further research. The author argues that globalization is a complex structural transformation, and its main objective trends are materialized in the occurrence of proper events; thus allowing to more or less successfully assess a cause and effect relationship. The article concludes that the agents as well as all participants of the globalization processes increasingly demonstrate the desire to accumulate, strengthen and enrich their economic, political and legal powers and authorities. Their substantial properties as well as the system-building function which defines social order are qualitatively predetermined by targeted globalization effects where the key role is played by the Kantian notion of "self-regard". Keywords: globalization; trend of globalization; social philosophy; post-industrial society. ; История человечества с незапамятных времен сопровождается тенденциями глобального масштаба. Современные глобализационные процессы берут свое начало в 1960-х годах, а переломным моментом их развития стало падение «социалистического лагеря». Природа, сущность и содержание глобализации вызывают критику и обеспокоенность ученых и экспертов, активистов гражданского общества, что свидетельствует о недостаточной ее изученности и настоятельной необходимости дальнейшего исследования. Автор статьи доказывает, что процессы глобализации представляют собой сложноструктурное преобразование, и объективность ее основных тенденций материализуется в закономерности наступления того или иного факта (результатов, событий), что позволяет более или менее успешно оценить их причинно-следственную взаимосвязь. В статье делается вывод, что агенты, да и все участники процессов глобализации, демонстрируют перманентное стремление аккумулировать, усиливать и обогащать свои экономические, политико-правовые властные полномочия. Их субстанциональные свойства, системообразующая функция социального порядка качественно предопределяются целенаправленным воздействием глобализации, где ключевую роль играет кантианское понятие «забота о себе».
Semantic maintenance of the concept "globalization" is examined, its wide and narrow interpretations. It becomes firmly established that global integration is the quantitative state of globalization, indicative on the scale of what be going on in society changes, and universalization is the description of the high-quality state of globalization. Processes of modernisation, internationalization, transnatonalization and liberalization are methods, relations, structures and principles which accompany the process of rapprochement of societies in global unit. Modern globalization on the stage of technogenesis presents not simply socio-economic and socio-biospheric process, and more vast is a technogenic socio-biospheric process of co-operation of technogenic society, its technosphere and transformed biosphere.
The article analyzes the essence of globalization and modern trends of its development. Considers the main contradictions associated with the concept of «globalization» and touches on questions about the nature of this phenomenon and the current vector of its development. Proposed author's vision of the nature of globalization, its prerequisites and content of this concept. Also during the research it was established that the current condition of globalization is characterized by the level of internationalization of reproduction process in the world economy. The analysis is based on the results of basic research in the field of international production. The conclusions drawn by results of this research about essence and nature of globalization can be used further at more detailed studying of a subject of global changes of the world economy. The findings of this study about essence and nature of globalization can be used further for a more detailed studying of a theme of global changes of the world economy.
The article provides a collection of modern views on the socio-cultural globalization in its relationship with glocalization. The author concludes that there is a dialectical interaction between them.

Globalization remains the crucial trend of global development, and it is especially evident in economic sphere. Apart from it, political, informational and cultural globalizations are actively discussed. The rapid development of global market, initiated by the West, paradoxically, fostered redistribution of economic influence towards the non-Western countries and primarily to Asia. Therefore, the record of participation of BRICS states (China and India, primarily) in global processes is instructive. These two countries achieve significant developmental successes due to their integration in world economy without abandoning active participation of their government in regulation of economic and social activities. Analysis of the strategies adopted of other BRICS countries could appear quite useful for Russia. ; Глобализация остается определяющей тенденцией мирового развития, причем наиболее явно она проявляется в экономической сфере. Наряду с ней выделяются также политическая, информационная и культурно-цивилизационная глобализация. Стремительное развитие глобального хозяйства, инициированное Западом, привело к перераспределению экономического влияния — все большую роль в нем играют незападные, прежде всего азиатские, страны. В этой связи показателен опыт участия в глобализационных процессах государств БРИКС, прежде всего Китая и Индии. Эти две страны достигли существенных успехов в развитии за счет интеграции в мировую экономику без отказа от активной роли государства в регулировании общественных и хозяйственных процессов. Изучение стратегий партнеров по БРИКС представляет существенный интерес для России.
All the activities and phenomena of the modern society proceed under influence of the globalizational processes. The globalization runs through mostly all the fields of the social life, primarily economic, political and social, cultural, humanitarian field. The globalizational processes have the specified legal dimension, that becomes apparent, first, in changes of the correlation of national, regional and international law; besides this, in changes of the specificity of the legal regulation. ; В современном обществе все явления, процессы проходят под влиянием гло - бализацийних процессов. Глобализация пронизывает практически все сферы общественной жизни, прежде всего, экономическую, политическую, а также социальную, культурную, гуманитарную и др. Гло - бализацийни процессы имеют определенный правовой измерение, проявляется, во-первых, в изменении соотношения между национальным, региональным и международным правом, кроме того, в изменении специфики правового регулирования общественных отношений и др. ; В сучасному суспільстві всі явища, процеси проходять під впливом гло - балізаційних процесів. Глобалізація пронизує практично всі сфери суспільного життя, перш за все, економічну, політичну, а також соціальну, культурну, гуманітарну та ін. Гло - балізаційні процеси мають визначений правовий вимір, що проявляється, по-перше, у зміні співвідношення між національним, регіональним та міжнародним правом, крім того, у зміні специфіки правового регулювання суспільних відносин та ін.
The article analyses the complexity of human resource management in the context of business globalization. The problem is the balancing of the global trends in HRM with the influence of national cultures. The general aim of the article is to explore the problem of balancing the seemingly opposing forces (such as thinking global – acting local, decentralization–centralization, differentiation–integration, etc.) and to identify trends and values in HRM. The article shows that such opposing forces should be considered not as binary either / or decisions, but as complementary forces that need to be balanced. The analysis is supported by examining the changing practice of HRM in the United Kingdom, France, the USA and Japan. This review shows the main trends and the principal tasks faced by HRM professionals in the 21st century. HRM changes that have taken place in the UK are a reflection, primarily, of changing regulation arising both from the UK government and from membership in the EU, globalization and strong pressures to drive costs downwards. French HR managers are striving to adapt French organizations to the environment by relying on unique practices or practices similar to those implemented in other countries. In late 2000s, the US economy is slowing. Though workers may become easier to find in general, recruitment continues to be challenging in the areas where skill shortages exist. The US workforce will continue to become more diverse. Firms are likely to continue experimenting with variable compensation and high performance work systems to enhance productivity. The change of HR practices in Japanese companies seems to be slow and incremental, carefully avoiding traumatic breaks with the past. Japanese managers have a strong sense of corporate obligation to provide jobs, income and security. On comparing changes in the patterns of HMR in the UK, France, the USA and Japan, the article analyses the peculiarities of HMR in Lithuania as a representative country of the post-soviet bloc. The practice of HRM in Lithuania during 1990–2008 may be separated into two periods. Each period was influenced by controversial groups of factors: traditions that came into being under the soviet regime and the new traditions still undergoing formation. In the first period dominated the so-called "hard" HRM, with the focus on employee control, utmost exploitation of their potential and obtaining the maximum benefit from them, neglect of employees' needs. The lack of qualified workers, increasing emigration and the growing competition in the second period urge the managers to shift attention to "soft" HRM, i.e. to the needs of their employees as one of the key resources of the competitive advantage.
