THE MULTICULTURALISM BETWEEN POLITICAL UNITY AND CULTURAL PLURALISM – EXAMPLE OF THE BALKANS
THE MULTICULTURALISM BETWEEN POLITICAL UNITY AND CULTURAL PLURALISM – EXAMPLE OF THE BALKANS

Summary/Abstract: The political map of the Balkans today, express a victory for the nation-state project (new national states / ethnic nations) as well as involvement in the processes of fragmentation, parallel to the globalization processes. It seems that the cultural pluralism is not the one of the winning categories in this historical-political competition. The winner is the political unity of small nations-states, for whose interests the different cultural groups and cultures have been discriminated or sacrificed in the past and even today. The models of multiculturalism and the division of power in Macedonia and Bosnia are exclusions from this policy matrix. The process of anti-multiculturalism in Europe will have negative consequences on the multicultural models at the Balkans. These are the thesis that will be argued in this article.
