James Lyon

    James Lyon se stal balkánologem téměř náhodou a Balkánu se věnuje přes třicet čtyři let. Jeho rozsáhlá práce v této oblasti, podpořená doktorátem z moderních balkánských dějin, mu umožnila hluboce porozumět regionu. Lyon se zaměřuje na složité historické a politické nuance Balkánu, přičemž jeho analýzy jsou ceněny pro svou hloubku a praktický dopad. Prostřednictvím své práce a založení nadace pro uchování historického dědictví se věnuje digitalizaci archivů a snaze o zachování kulturního dědictví regionu. Jeho texty nabízejí čtenářům zasvěcený pohled na historii a současnost Balkánu, formovaný dlouholetou přítomností a prací v regionu.
