Abstract: As any stage of human evolution, globalization has generated dynamic transformations in social, cultural, economic, political and security term. The 21th century is known as a „post-traditional” (Anthony Giddens to describe present times. S.G. Meštrović, Anthony Giddens: The last Modernist, London, 2005, p.148) period of time that has as fundamentals multiculturalism, communication, networking, global interconnectivity, knowledge, innovation, civic competences, emotional intelligence, integration, adaptation, security-building and peacekeeping measures. The world changes rapidly most of all due to high technology development and although is guided by valuable fundamentals that respect diversity, at international level we face adaptation challenges to the global multicultural environment, challenges that give rise to specific conflicts and implicitly, to special measures relating to conflict prevention and maintenance of global security. The present paper focuses on the 21th century as a period of cultural interactions and complex conflict situations generated by the process of acculturation (https://www.britannica.com/topic/acculturation) that global world has to face nowadays.
