THE FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF THE CIVILIZATION FRONTIER (ON THE BASIS OF THE CASE OF OTTOMAN HUNGARY)
Herein, the case of Ottoman Hungary is employed to analyze, within the integral institutional approach, the process of formation and evolution of civilizational frontiers. The reasons for the low speed of the erosion of frontier attributes are specified: merger within the frontier of systems with different types of dominant basic institutions; lack of efficient administration of the frontier territory; implantation of one society into another without proper inerethnic, -social, and -reliigious mixing. The process of formation of the new society under such conditions leads to the ever growing inner turbulence and, ultimately, disintegration of the forming social system.
