People’s tendency to conquer space has not just been a reflection of their intention to impose their rule over it, but also to utilise it for the establishment of multiple relationships. Since the 17th century the conquered space has served for development of many forms of capital that produced current forms of globalisation. The period of colonial conquests was an attempt to link the huge area into a whole. The outcome of this attempt is an on-going process of globalisation. After the Second World War the process of globalisation was marked by creation of global society in which Serbia should play a constructive role. Space-time compression and the post-modern era require capital management distance control. Global economic crisis supports the process of globalisation towards mutual solidarity.
