Summary
Boško Bojović: Byzantium-Balkan-Europe
Belonging and beyond
The immediate successor of the ancient Roman Empire, which the modern founders of its historiography called Byzantium (after the ancient Hellenic colony of the same name that was located on the site of Constantinople, the new Roman capital), represents a brilliant thousand-year synthesis of Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian civilizations. Although its duration coincides with the epoch of the Middle Ages, its scope does not fit into the usual ideas about the dark historical period that are usually projected on that time - by analogy with the Western European Middle Ages. The Turkish word Balkans began to be used by European geographers in the 19th century to denote the European part of the Ottoman Empire, the former European part of Byzantium, which the Turks called Rumelia, after the name Rum used to denote the Roman or Byzantine Empire. The contemporary direct or indirect successors of this universal civilization are all the countries of the Mediterranean basin, the Near and Middle East, and the European part of Russia and the Caucasus. The Euro-Atlantic model of globalization does not give the right to any country or nation, regardless of the success of the economic and social order, to supremacy over other parts of humanity. Belonging to a civilizational model that imposes a monopoly on modernity or its non-acceptance will significantly affect the future of the world we live in, especially in areas of contact between different models and influences that have the potential for necessary exchanges and complementarities, as well as representing a training ground for starting local conflicts with possible unforeseeable global consequences.
