Abstract The author remarks that globalization is here to stay and that it is much more than a matter of global markets. She points out some of its beneficial aspects in South East Europe. It will, for example, allow members of diasporas from former trouble spots to keep in contact with their home countries by Internet and to assist them. Such positive developments can already be identified in some countries of the region. UNESCO is encouraging such innovations in higher education so as to enable it to benefit from the opportunities offered by new global transformations. (HRK / Abstract übernommen)
