Abstract: The Romanian Revolution from 1089 radically changed the Romanian society profile. After this benchmark point, Romania enters a new historical stage called transition, a period marked by the phenomenon of globalization. This paper circumvents the problem of globalization in post-communist Romania. The purpose of this paper is to describe the context the globalization evolved in Romania but also to synthesize a record of economical, social and cultural effects of globalization. The effects of globalization reflect on communication networks and channels, production processes, labor market, monetary market and social patterns. Globalization can generate economical growth but also can lead to poverty. A collective cultural shock followed the beginnings of globalization and this phenomenon is characterized by four elements: (a) integration, (b) assimilation, (c) separation and (d) marginalization. Collective cultural shock was more powerful in Romania after the integration in European Union. Other important aspects are the connection between globalization and cultural identity but also the cultural changes occurred in Romania after 2007.
