Summary/Abstract: Globalization is a highly complex and multifaceted phenomenon that has large influence on modern society. Globalization is today interpreted not only as a paradigm of the establishment of the common world market, but also from the position of cultural and ideological reality (Čečuk 2002). Croatia, as the 28th member of the European Union, has been under the strong influence of integration process over the last twenty years. The motto of EU since 2000 is “United in Diversity” and the meaning of this message is the integration of all Europeans into the EU “to work for peace and prosperity, while at the same time being enriched by the continent’s many different cultures, traditions and languages”. The idea of integration is strongly linked to the idea of multiculturalism. Social sciences and humanities are inevitably contextualized by globalization, integration and multiculturalism nowadays as the ubiquitous social processes. The topic that explores this paper is in what extent have Croatian professional and scientific articles from the field of social sciences and humanities processed integration, globalization and multiculturalism and their interrelationships, and whether they applied interdisciplinary scientific approaches in the period from 2013 till today.
