From the Nationalizm to the Globalisation - Economy, Politics, Regionalism - in the Southern Slav Area and in the EU

Hungary is looking for his own place equally in the EU, in the world being globalized and in his narrower region, Central and Eastern Europe. Finding the right way is difficult because of the complexity of international relations. To understand the current Hungarian situation the past events and the transnational relations of globalization should be analysed. Development of Hungary relationship with neighbouring countries is particular interest namely, to understand these processes are also essential in terms of European integration events.
European history shows that the globalization began in the second half of the 19th century with the following characteristics:
* In addition to Monarchy medium states were formed developing strong force subsequently for example Germany and Italy.
* The birth and growth of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was accompanied by changes in the Balkans. Serbia and Montenegro became independent in 1878 then Serbia was proclaimed in 1882 while Montenegro in 1910.
* The first Balkan war lasted from October 1912 to May 1913; the second Balkan war was between June and August 1913.
The occurrence of these events shows the strict logic of history. Situation of Europe has been determined by the coexistence of the large and small nationalism and their effects. In addition to more nations the smaller nations are characterized by strong emotional intensity, historic perspective, search of traditions and receiving tutelage of the great powers.
The First World War; which was the first act of globalized political history; began because of interests of the great powers. The peaces around Paris were the second act with an episode of the Treaty of Trianon. The termination of the Monarchy is the one of consequences which had a huge impact on economic, social and political sense of the successor states.
After the Second World War, Western European countries set the goals of preserving peace and preventing of the expansion of communism this helped by the Peace Treaty of Brussels (1948) and Paris (1951), too. The European Coal and Steel Community created in 1951 have coordinated the production of heavy industry of those six states providing oversight of any further war efforts.
The Community known as European Union from 1993 has become the most important organization of the European integration consolidating contracts between members of Community formed political institutions. After the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989) one of the targets of the EU was the integration of former socialist countries. Now there are 27 member countries, Hungary joined the community in 2004. The pre-accession phase of join for each country shows the consciousness of the expansion. The financial framework for these is provided by the pre-accession funds.
The continuous expansion of the EU is historical necessity because a larger market means more power in the competitiveness of the world's major economic centres. However, it has got important role in cushion or elimination the historical legacy with fragmented and turbulent.
