СОЦИОЛОШКО-ПОЛИТИКОЛОШКА РЕЛЕВАНТНОСТ И АКТУЕЛНОСТ ЦВИЈИЋЕВЕ „АНТРОПОГЕОГРАФИЈЕ“ БАЛКАНА
SOCIOLOGICAL-POLITICAL RELEVANCE AND ACTUALITY OF CVIJIĆ’S “ANTHROPOGEOGRAPHY” OF THE BALKANS

Summary/Abstract: Leaving aside the occasionally succumbing to stereotyping, schematism and, in particular, idealization of the so-called „Dinaric psychological types,“ Jovan Cvijic’s insights about „national character“ in the Balkans are fertile grounds for sociological and other research on recent and current Balkan (in)opportunities. Many of his claims as „an anthropologist“ are practically confirmed by subsequent events in the reality of the Balkans, by the characteristic behaviour of entire nations or their parts. Actually, they are anticipating some personality traits, which were later confirmed empirically in science as syndromes of an „authoritarian character“ – which is more than present in Balkan political, economic and cultural everyday life.
