Западни свет

група земаља које потичу из европске културе
(преусмерено са Западњачки свет)

Западни свет, познат и као Запад, првенствено се односи на различите нације и државе у регионима Аустралазије, западне и средње Европе, као и Северне Америке, уз дебату о томе да ли се источна Европа и Латинска Америка такође сматрају деловима Запада.[4][5][6] Западни свет се такође назива Окцидент, за разлику од источног света познатог као Оријент.[7]

Западни свет изведен из Сукоба цивилизација Самјуела Ф. Хантингтона:[1] светлоплавом бојом су обојени Латинска Америка и православни свет, који се сматрају или делом Запада или као различите цивилизације блиско повезане са Западом.[2][3]

Савремени западни свет у суштини обухвата нације и државе у којима се цивилизација или култура сматра западном[8][9][10] — чије корене неки историчари вуку до грчко-римског света и хришћанства.[11][12] У глобалном расколу север—југ, Запад је често у корелацији са глобалним севером.[13][14] Историјска идеја о Европи као географском Западу појавила се у Грчкој у петом веку пре нове ере.[15][16][17] Географски концепт Запада почео је да се обликује у 4. веку нове ере када је Константин Велики, први римски цар који је био хришћанин, поделио Римско царство између грчког истока и латинског запада. Источно римско царство, касније названо Византија, наставило се током једног миленијума, док је Западно римско царство трајало само око век и по. То је довело до тога да многи људи у западној Европи завиде Византији и да тамошње хришћане сматрају јеретицима.[7] Године 1054. када је црква у Риму изопштила византијског патријарха, политичко-религијска подела између западне цркве и источне цркве кулминирала је Великим расколом.[7][18] Иако су се пријатељски односи између два дела хришћанског света наставили још неко време, крсташки ратови су непријатељством учинили раскол коначним.[19] Запад је током крсташких ратова покушао да заузме трговачке путеве ка Истоку и није успео, а уместо тога је открио Америку.[20] После европске колонизације ових новооткривених земаља, појавила се идеја о западном свету, као наследнику латинског хришћанства.[21]

У средњем веку, Европљани су термин „Запад” почели да користе за описивање Европе. Од 18. века, након европских истраживања, реч је коришћена за означавање региона света са европским насељима.[22][23][24] У савремено доба, земље за које се сматра да сачињавају Запад разликују се према перспективи, а не према географској локацији. Државе попут Аустралије и Новог Зеланда, које се налазе на источној хемисфери, сматрају се делом модерне дефиниције западног света,[25] пошто су ови региони и други слични њима били под значајним утицајем Британаца — који су произашли из колонизације и имиграције Европљана.[26] Упркос томе што се налази на Далеком истоку, земље попут Јапана, у неким контекстима, сматрају се делом Запада јер су усклађене са идеалима демократије западног стила, док се за земље попут Кубе, која се налази на западној хемисфери, тврди да нису део Запада јер су у складу са идеалима комунизма.[27] У зависности од контекста и историјског периода о коме је реч, на Русију се понекад гледало као на део Запада, а понекад на супротстављену њему.[28][29][30] Упоредо са успоном Сједињених Америчких Држава као велике силе и развојем информационо-комуникационих технологија, САД су постале истакнутије у концептуализацији Запада.[28]

Између 18. до средине 20. века, истакнуте земље на Западу, као што су САД, Канада, Бразил, Аргентина, Аустралија и Нови Зеланд, некада су биле замишљене као етнократије за белце.[31][32][33] Расизам се наводи као фактор који доприноси западњачкој колонизацији Новог света, који данас чини велики део „географског” западног света.[34][35] Почевши крајем 1960-их, одређени делови западног света постали су препознатљиви по својој разноликости због имиграције.[36][37] Идеја „Запада” је током времена еволуирала од усмереног концепта до друштвено-политичког концепта који је био темпорализован и приказан као концепт будућности са представама о прогресу и модерности.[28]

In general, researchers consider that it has three main components, in Europe, North America and Latin America. [...] However, Latin America has followed a quite different development path from Europe and North America. Although it is a scion of European civilization, it also incorporates more elements of indigenous American civilizations compared to those of North America and Europe. It also currently has had a more corporatist and authoritarian culture. Both Europe and North America felt the effects of Reformation and combination of Catholic and Protestant cultures. Historically, Latin America has been only Catholic, although this may be changing. [...] Latin America could be considered, or a sub-set, within Western civilization, or can also be considered a separate civilization, intimately related to the West, but divided as to whether it belongs with it.”

ISBN 9780534646028. „people in these early civilizations viewed themselves as subjects of states or empires, not as members of Western civilization. With the rise of Christianity during the Late Roman Empire, however, peoples in Europe began to identify themselves as part of a civilization different from others, such as that of Islam, leading to a concept of a Western civilization different from other civilizations. In the fifteenth century, Renaissance intellectuals began to identify this civilization not only with Christianity but also with the intellectual and political achievements of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Important to the development of the idea of a distinct Western civilization were encounters with other peoples. Between 700 and 1500, encounters with the world of Islam helped define the West. But after 1500, as European ships began to move into other parts of the world, encounters with peoples in Asia, Africa, and the Americas not only had an impact on the civilizations found there but also affected how people in the West defined themselves. At the same time, as they set up colonies, Europeans began to transplant a sense of Western identity to other areas of the world, especially North America and parts of Latin America, that have come to be considered part of Western civilization.”

[...] a host of major trends... occurred essentially in parallel, suggesting significant cohesion within an expanded Western civilization. The industrial revolution, though launched in Britain, turned out to be a transatlantic process very quickly. ... The same applies to the new movement to limit per capita birth rates – the demographic transition that ran through Western civilization during the 19th century... and the outcomes by 1900, in unprecedentedly low birth rates per family combined with rapidly falling infant death rates, was essentially the same through out this expanded Western world.”

The two parts of Christendom were not yet conscious of a great gulf of separation between them, and people on both sides still hoped that the misunderstandings could be cleared up without too much difficulty.

I have defined it as those "religious traditions, institutions, cultures and nations, including their contemporary shared values, that together emerged as the intellectual descendants and transformers of Latin Christendom." Geographically, this entails Western Europe (including Poland and other central European countries), North America and many other parts of the world that share these traditions and histories, or have adopted them. Much of Central and South America seem to reflect these traditions and values.”

ISBN 9780199237432. „The English word "West" was originally an adverb of direction. It meant, in effect, "farther down, farther away". By the Middle Ages, it was already being used by Europeans to describe Europe, and by the late six-teenth century, it had become associated with forward movement, with youth and vigor, and ultimately, as Europe expanded—westward—with "civilization". Ever since the eighteenth century, the word has been applied not only to Europe but also to Europe's settlers overseas, to the wider European World.”

The opposite here is a non-western world in Africa, Asia and Latin America – now dubbed “the global south” – though many people in Latin America will claim a western inheritance, too. This way of talking notices the whole world, but lumps a whole lot of extremely different societies together, while delicately carving around Australians and New Zealanders and white South Africans, so that “western” here can look simply like a euphemism for white.”
