<font size="3"><i>Cartography was an instrumental tool in devising and disseminating the
concept of South-Eastern Europe, both amongst the "Westerners" and "Easterners"."Turkey" in Europe, Eastern Europe, the
Balkans,</i><i>the
countries "behind the Iron Countries", "the EU’s newcomers " were
constructs
of cultural geography that successively reinforced and reshaped the idea of
a different, second class Europe, as the "Other" to the West. The colonial
view modelled the local gaze, as the 19th and the 20th century national</i><i>cartographies emerged as an alternative to the imperial discourses.
Nevertheless, the Western cartography remained the yardstick against which
maps were judged, for both those who advocated modernization and for those
who promoted
autochthonism.
