Tidal stripping and disruption of globular clusters may be responsible for the absence of low density clusters in the inner region of the Galaxy. We have studied these processes by integrating orbits of stars while the cluster is moving through a spherically symmetric galactic potential with constant circular velocity (Vcir =220 km/s). The response of the cluster to the tidal field of the galaxy is calculated in a selfconsistent manner with a collisionless N-body code with N=5000 (van Albada 1982, van Albada and Bontekoe in preparation).
