Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the social effects of one of the most spectacular investments in Central and Eastern Europe: the Nokia international group in Romania. It presents the course of investment in such aspects as work culture, lifestyle changes, evolution of the local economy model. The empirical part, prepared on the basis of 16-month field studies, describes the phenomenon of social integration on a global scale: from changes in local space through new employee experiences to a discussion about national identity in the context of modernity and globalization. The publication is an important voice in the current debate on the future of capitalism, political and economic integration and global labor transformations. It is addressed to researchers and students of social sciences, employees of think-thank and non-governmental organizations activists as well as people who monitor the social effects of globalization.
