ABSTRACT
The previous chapter was concerned with the attitudes of respondents with respect to key economic, social and political trends and policies characterising the globalisation process. Yet the globalisation process is not exclusively the result of these trends and policies. A further crucial component is constituted by international organisations, which, as was indicated at the beginning of this volume, have both multiplied and come to have an increasingly important role in the second half of the twentieth century. Such a development clearly indicates that the attitudes of citizens towards these organisations have to be examined alongside the attitudes of citizens towards the trends and policies belonging to the globalisation process.
