摘要：In this paper, the author interprets the political aspects of cultural hegemonism. Firstly, a theoretical differentiation is made between the cultural and the political hegemonism, and then, a discussion is opened about the occurrences of cultural annexation. The practical instances of cultural hegemonism, upon which political interests are being reflected, are taken from the Balkan region. Chronologically, the initial forms of Balkan cultural hegemonism observed here are from the second half of the 19th century, while also taking into account their later implications in the 21st century. Particular attention is focused on the ‘Macedonian case’. The code of 19th-century Balkan cultural hegemonism was visibly activated at the beginning of the 21st century, while it was latently trailing through the entire 20th century. The author argues that cultural hegemonism is a historical phenomenon, governed by general historical principles and laws, so it may be foreseeable and replaced by better solutions.
