This article underlines some of them and proves that many of them can be traced down in different areas all over the world. Specifics like secession, accompanied by inter- and intrastate conflicts based on ethnic and religious grounds, huge pressure on the civil population expressed in war crimes, genocide and ethnic cleansing, enormous economical devastation of the country and very low level of democracy denoted the collapse of Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia. As the consequence the term balkanization got the final outlook . Analysis of different events after collapse of Soviet Union in Southern Caucasus may be compared, to a certain degree, to those on the territory of former Yugoslavia. Based on this and many other facts article offers new perspective in better comprehension and may enable us to predict further development of the international relations regarding the Southern Caucasus regionBALKANIZACIJA NA KAVKAZU: PRIMER GRUZIJE. Čeprav je izraz balkanizacija v mednarodnih odnosih in diplomatskih krogih dobro znan, so nekatere značilnosti tega pojava kljub temu vredne poglobljene analize in debate. Članek dokazuje, da je fenomen balkanizacije prisoten na različnih koncih sveta. Secesija, notranji in meddržavni konflikti na etnični in verski osnovi,močan pritisk na civilno prebivalstvo, ki se odraža v vojnih zločinih, genocidu in etničnem čiščenju, ekonomski propad dežele in skrajno nizka raven demokracije - vse to je spremljalo razpad Socialistične Federativne Republike Jugoslavije. Tako se je izraz balkanizacija dokončno ustalil. Analiza dogodkov v Sovjetski zvezi in na južnem Kavkazu kaže določene podobnosti z dogajanjem na ozemlju nekdanje Jugoslavije. Članek ponuja drugačen pogled na balkanizacijo, ki bo strokovnjakom omogočil zanesljivejše napovedovanje mednarodnih odnosov na območju južnega KavkazaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaInštitut za narodnostna vprašanja
