Summary/Abstract: This study sees the European process of modernization through the values that gave it a structure, and taking into account the continuous force which they radiate. Two case studies were carried out in Japan and Romania, but they are examples of failed attempts at modernization – they represent the arguments of this paper. If the first country succeeded in its second attempt at modernization, this fact is due to the essential role of education. This is what is recommended also for the present modernizing attempt of Romania.
