摘要：Polazeći od teze da je Balkan uvek, kako po svom geopolitičkom položaju tako i u kulturološkom pogledu, ne samo kroz istoriju već i u savremenosti, predstavljao "zonu tranzicije i izbora", autor u radu razmatra odnos procesa modernizacije i religije a posebno ulogu pojedinih oblika religijskih kultura u geostrateškim konfrontacijama na ovom prostoru. U radu se najpre istražuju analitičke mogućnosti i ograniče-nja pojedinih teorija i teorijskih koncepata (kao što su teorija svetskog sistema, modernizacije, kulturnog konteksta i sukoba civilizacija i akulturacije), da bi se potom, sa stanovišta teorije sukoba i prožimanja različitih kultura, izvršila problematizacija pitanja uticaja savremenih globalnih društvenih i političkih strategija na ovaj prostor i u tom kontekstu istražila "propusna" moć, adaptivni kapaciteti i otpor pojedinih nacionalnih i religijskih kultura, u odnosu na njihovo geopolitičko dejstvo. Ukazujući na pozitivnu ulogu procesa globalizacije, mondijalizacije, modernizacije i akulturacije u savremenom društvu, autor smatra da savremeno svetsko društvo sve više postaje otvoreno društvo (koje neguje multikulturnost, etničku i versku toleranciju razlika) koje afirmiše fenomen "kulture bez granica". Autor pri tom kritički upozorava i na suprotne tendencije fragmentacije svetskog društva i procese "planetarnog tribalizma". U tom kontekstu, analizi-ra susret i sukob religijske kulture na Balkanu
其他摘要：Starting from the thesis that the Balkans represented, both regarding the geo-political position and the culturological status, not only in the past but in the modern times as well, the zone of "transition and choice", the author of this paper discusses the relation between the process of modernization and religion, especially the role of some forms of religious cultures in geostrategic confrontations on this territory. The paper first explores analytical possibilities and limitations of particular theories and theoretical concepts (such as the theory of the world system, modernization, cultural context and conflict between civilization and acculturalization) in order to proceed, from the standpoint of the theory of conflict and permeation of various cultures, to reconsideration of the issues concerning the influence of modern global social and political strategies on this territory; in this context, an attempt is made to explore the potential for "permeability", adaptive capacities and resistance of particular national and religious cultures with respect to their geopolitical effect. By pointing to a positive role of the globalization process, modernization and acculturalization in modern society, the author thinks that modern world society is increasingly becoming an open society (cherishing multiculturality as well as ethnic and religious tolerance of differences) affirming the phenomenon of "culture with no borders". The author also critically warns about opposing tendencies of fragmentation of the worlds' society and of the processes of "planetary tribalism". In this context, the author analyzes the encounter and conflict of religious culture in the Balkans regarding the present state (of Orthodoxy, Islam and Catholicism) thus pointing to their integrative and disintegrative abilities, to the phenomenon of the mingling of the cultures, as well as to the need for preserving the cultural and national identity and redefining the issues of sovereignty in the light of newly induced changes at the end of the 20th century
