Summary/Abstract: The Balkans. It’s not only a name, but a concept which people understand differently. And even if it meant the same thing– a geographical boundary or history, the geopolitical concept, the strategic focus etc,- this space would still be complex and especially complicated and uncertain. Spaces do not represent only what God wanted them to be, or what they have become under the influence of the environmental factors, under pressure from the inhabitants who live in those spaces, and appreciate them or on the contrary who deteriorate them, changing them in something different from their geophysical reality. They are -and become- an effect of the internal changes, of the consolidation or deterioration of the structural and functional elements. Of course these statements are relative because, after all, no population is fallen from the moon. People represent a produce of the Planet Earth and of its interactions with other elements of the cosmic environment. At least this is what we’ve found out so far. Under these circumstances, why is it necessary to analyse the Balkans? What does it represent for those who live in the Balkan countries, for the more or less distant neighbourhoods, for the European Union, Russia, Turkey, China, the United States of America, for the entire world? What about its influence on Romania?
