Summary/Abstract: In this article I investigate globalisation and its challenges to small nations. By increased economical administrational cooperation, blocks of nations unite either existing economic zones or create new zones. EU formation and the expansion of NATO block, to certain extent, can be adjusted to the globalization of the new world. Together with economical interests of states, globalization touches other spheres of the society: national internal policy, education, mass media, the policy of family, migration. The birth rate in families in such big nations as Germany, France, and Italy is small. If numerous Italians, French, Polish, and Russians are worried about constantly decreasing numbers of inhabitants, then no doubt that small nations are in danger of assimilation.
