Summary/Abstract: Presented paper is supposed to contribute to a discussion and arguments on two key methodological aspects of research attitudes towards globalisation. The first one consists in the reasoning and defining of globalisation as a qualitatively new phase of world economy development, fundamentally different from interna-tionalisation. Globalisation is related to a transition towards a new stage of human civilisation, the result of which is its recent process connected to a shar-pening of several contradictions, mostly in economic, social and ecological area. Based on this fact, I derive a need for the second methodological aspect which requires a constructive-critical approach to its exploring that will be able to create scientific foundation for overcoming of its contradictions.
