Like any crisis in the human world, the migrant crisis can be approached
without more comprehensive interpretations and deeper understanding. Nevertheless,
recognizing intuitions at the first observations of European and Balkan "migrant
events" is prudent, and beyond prejudice and pre-understanding, to search for the
causes of the crisis. The ongoing migrant crisis has highlighted the need to create and
implement a multidisciplinary model of understanding the 21st-century conflict.
Models used so far halved from mega authorial theories and political doctrines, such
as various pro-globalization or anti-globalization approaches, transitional neoliberal
formulas, the pattern of "new world order," or "clash of civilizations," clashes of
religions and cultures, world system, post-imperialism, various postmodern theories,
doctrines of so-called soft and hard power, they have proven to be incompliant to events
and therefore insufficient for a complete understanding of the contradictions and
contradictions of the modern world.
Historically, the current migrant crisis has regained the importance of questioning the
spatial dimensions of the European populist configuration. The current and previous
migrant problems have reminded classical and contemporary geopolitical theories of
the original understanding of this approach to social and political phenomena, long
overdue by Rudolf Kjellen. In one of the earliest divisions of geopolitics, a deserved
place was found by demo politics. The focused demo-political reflection gains
importance in situations of growing demographic problems.
While geopolitics primarily encompasses processes of changes in space and area, demo
politics touch on politically conditioned processes in the population. In seemingly
chaotic demo politics, it reaffirmed the importance of a critical geopolitical
interpretation of migrant processes. Even among the pro-non Eurocrats, for various
ideological reasons, extremely inclined to specific geopolitical ideas and
arrangements, it strengthened the sense of continental spatiality, accompanied by the
knowledge that geopolitics "after all" has returned to European and world relations.
In addition to many crises that have befallen Europe, the return of geopolitics has been
contributed by the disruption sustained by the migrant wave. The current migrant crisis is a causal-consequential crisis, which means that as an
already emerging disorder, it causes many other diseases that would not be without its
effect. Still, it is also caused by factors that have previously shaped it and may not be
known enough until this moment. The driving and emergence of the migrant crisis have
occurred in the past; its modern development encompasses the present, and, likely, the
migrant crisis will be faced by Europe in the future. Hence, it is necessary to bear in
mind the concrete historical dimension of the problem, which also contains specific
chrono-political components. When something is not understood as before at one time,
the development usually enables that if it is to be understood in the consequential time.
