Further research byHarisson and Huntington which was published in their work Culture matters [Lawrence,2000] presented a wide spectrum of interconnections of culture with civilizationdevelopment, institutions and geographic conditions. The scientific discourse includesthe phenomenon of cultural changes promotion as an element of the pro-developmentpolicy as well as anthropological considerations on the influence of “cultural imperialism”of Europe and the States in the globalization era on the preservation of societies’ culturalidentity.
