“Us,” “Them,” and the Problem with “Balkanization” | global-e journal
Even as globalization accelerates trans-global and supra-territorial connections, matrices of prejudice and stereotypes about 'the other' from past centuries remain, in old and new forms. This fact is borne out daily in crisis regions where ethnicity, migration, and the history of colonial and imperial adventure have left their legacies, including the Balkans. Various contemporary processes stimulate the appearance of new figures and stereotypes for ‘others’ on local, national, regional, international, and global levels.

These technologies do not address the root social and economic problems these groups are facing, and introduce a range of new risks to people who are already in disadvantaged positions.
