Summary/Abstract: Every ethnicity has more or less rounded complex of ethnic, religious, and cultural characteristics. Their collection makes what we understand under notion "identity". Members of an ethnicity differ from other ethnic groups in respect to that identity. Of course, "clear' identity does not exist, but it is a fact that historically "older" nations have stronger identity while similar and "small" peoples insist extremely on identity differentiations; this influences their relations and can lead to intolerance and conflicts, even war. The question of globalization, which can damage identity of small peoples, was a topic of discussion at round table "Globalization, Acculturation, and Identity in Balkan", which was held on 12. December, 2002 at the Faculty of Philosophy in Nis, as a part of project "Cultural and Ethnic Relations in Balkan – Possibilities for Regional and European Integration". Reports from this round table will be presented after introductory article.
