The paper discusses the phenomenon of globalization from the perspective: * the need and quality of the process, as it is currently implemented, * the benefits and secondary aspects that accompany it and * the structural changes generated by the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The argumentation is based on observations, studies and statistics provided by researchers, analysts, international profile bodies. From the author's perspective, the activation of the latent valences available to globalization and which can relocate the phenomenon to much higher levels than currently revealed, becomes possible only if at least three elements are met: * interconnection of resources (people, information, technology), * common consciousness generated by a holistic understanding of the purpose and the optimal mode of action and * synergistic action. This work is defined by the author's descriptions, multidisciplinarity of information, opinions and conclusions and has the role of examining aspects of globalization that, through a slight new approach, can reach lives in a different way, closer to human potential.

The Community-Based Local Development Guide (DLRC) was developed for the period 2014- 2020 for direct information of the participants in local action groups, offering practical tools and recommendations for implementing DLRC initiatives in a variety of contexts. DRLC allows local strategies to focus on challenges such as social inclusion discrimination against gypsy groups and other disadvantaged groups, or climate change. The power of local actors are important in local development and the strategies that place local development under the responsibility of the community can provide solutions in an increasingly diverse and complex context. At the same time, one of the foundations of the European model is diversity, the challenge being to identify ways to preserve it and transform it into an advantage, not a burden. DLRC in urban areas offers enormous possibilities to address certain specific challenges in cities and to highlight the untapped potential of people, economic entities and civil society to make their mark on local development. This article focuses on existing partnerships in rural and fisheries areas, in order to help them using the new regulations to meet some of the challenges emerging. The article also contains sections relevant for new partnerships in cities and those aimed at social inclusion.
