Trends in the Balkans and Eurasia Under Globalization: Geostrategic Analysis

Abstract

Potential possibilities of Eurasia become global realities and commencement of solving major global-historical problems. In this context, the area of the Balkans and the countries located at the edge of both sides of EU and Eurasia have become the scope for developing relationships, which are trying to influence both two sides. Geopolitical balances, in the sphere of control of sources and in the sphere of circulation, transmission and distribution networks, are changing. G20’s intervention approaches the general 2008s crisis, as a global affair and not unilateral, affecting the interests of all people and partial solutions are not acceptable. Including global community’s interests and developing all its potential, it gives the course of global governance, reveals its general character and degrades monopolization, attesting the guarantees and sustainable arrangements. This intervention is universal and deals with the unification of production and management of the economy, the dialectics between politics and economy and geopolitics and geoeconomics. A careful and penetrating review testifies to the objective fact that the immediate preceding major realities are incorporated into the mainstream of Eurasia, the movement of which is now designated increasingly by its own determinism. This review also states, with reference to the dynamism and realities of the region, that the Eurasian countries have substantial reserves with which to confront the general crisis and align themselves with the challenges of the times. Furthermore, Eurasia is the most important area in world affairs in terms of material conditions. This is demonstrated by reliable theoretical and statistical data which substantiate the position/conclusion that the trends manifested within Eurasia have objectively upward-moving and progressive global characteristics, exuding a sense of optimism and encouraging the global community to demonstrate a similar realism.
