Ancient and Medieval Identity-shifts and the Construction of Identities in Post-Yugoslav Space

最大的好处将是在多元文化政策领域，在这个领域，澳大利亚已经被视为其他国家的榜样。具体地说，文化适应、形成、杂交以及族裔特性随着时间的推移消失或持续的问题，是制定具有文化敏感性和社会优势的多元文化主义和移民政策不可或缺的一部分。澳大利亚在巴尔干地区也有很大的文化利益，因为它的大量公民从该地区感知到文化特征。因此，这项研究具有很大的潜力，可以引起更广泛的社区兴趣，并促进澳大利亚不同社区之间的对话。

The most significant benefit would be in the area of multicultural policies, an area in which Australia is already seen as a model for other countries. Specifically, the issues of acculturation, formation, hybridization, and the disappearance or persistence of ethnic identities over time are integral to developing culturally sensitive and socially advantageous policies of multiculturalism and immigration. Australia also has a significant cultural interest in the Balkans, as large numbers of its citizens perceive cultural identity from the region. For that reason, this research has significant potential to arouse wider community interest, and stimulate dialogue between different communities in Australia.
