Interplay of Modernism and Nationalism: Unresolved Tensions in Southeast Europe

Year 2024, Volume: 1 Issue: 5, 1 - 15, 30.06.2024

Abstract

This paper analyzes the interplay of Modernism and Nationalism in Southeast European recent history. While elaborating the roots of ethnic nationalism this paper tends to elaborate the tensions and the continues problematics of the region. From the 19th-century emergence of nationalism to the contemporary disaster challenges in Western Balkan situation, the examination navigates from historical perspective, with a broad focus on the complexities that have impacted the conflicts and continue to influence the present. The Balkans, well known for its multicultural mosaic, cops with the consequences of ethno-nationalism politics, influencing both the retrojection of nation-states and deepening differences among ethnic groups. Focused on the recent impact, particularly in the Western Balkans, the paper reveals how ethnic nationalism is a major and the ideology that continues to shape political discourse and societal attitudes. Through different empirical evidence, the paper highlights the mixed ways in which ethnic nationalism remains at the top in influencing political agendas and collective awareness. The exploration is based more in the acknowledgment of recent challenges, paying attention to all the historical legacies to pave the way for a more harmonious and inclusive future in the Western Balkans.

Modernizm ve Milliyetçilik Arasındaki Etkileşim: Güneydoğu Avrupa'da Çözümlenmemiş Gerilimler

Year 2024, Volume: 1 Issue: 5, 1 - 15, 30.06.2024

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Güneydoğu Avrupa tarihinde Modernizm ve Milliyetçiliğin karmaşık etkileşiminin izini titizlikle sürmektedir. Şoven milliyetçiliğin köklerini araştıran çalışma, bölgeyi karakterize eden çözülmemiş gerilimleri ve ısrarlı istikrar arayışlarını ortaya çıkarıyor. Milliyetçi coşkunun 19. yüzyılda ortaya çıkışından Batı Balkan siyasetindeki çağdaş zorluklara kadar, inceleme tarihsel dönüm noktalarında gezinerek çatışmaları körükleyen ve bugünü şekillendirmeye devam eden karmaşıklıklara ışık tutuyor. Farklı kültürel mozaiğiyle tanınan Balkanlar, hem ulus-devletlerin oluşumunu etkileyen hem de etnik gruplar arasında bölünmeyi teşvik eden etno-milliyetçiliğin sonuçlarıyla boğuşuyor. Özellikle Batı Balkanlar'daki güncel etkilere odaklanan bu çalışma, etnik milliyetçiliğin siyasi söylemi ve toplumsal tutumları nasıl şekillendirmeye devam ettiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, ampirik kanıtlar ve vaka çalışmaları aracılığıyla, milliyetçiliğin siyasi gündemleri ve kolektif bilinci etkilemeye devam ettiği nüanslı yolları vurgulamaktadır. Araştırma, Güneydoğu Avrupa'da daha uyumlu ve kapsayıcı bir geleceğin önünü açmak için tarihsel mirasların dikkatli bir şekilde incelenmesi çağrısında bulunarak, köklü zorlukların kabul edilmesiyle sonuçlanmaktadır.
