James Lyon is een onbedoelde Balkanoloog die zich meer dan vierendertig jaar heeft toegelegd op de studie van de Balkan. Zijn uitgebreide werk in de regio, ondersteund door een doctoraat in Moderne Balkangeschiedenis, heeft hem een diepgaand begrip van de complexiteit ervan gegeven. Lyon richt zich op de ingewikkelde historische en politieke nuances van de Balkan, waarbij zijn analyses worden gewaardeerd om hun diepgang en praktische impact. Door zijn inspanningen en de oprichting van een stichting voor het behoud van historisch erfgoed, zet hij zich in voor de digitalisering van archieven en de bescherming van het culturele erfgoed van de regio. Zijn geschriften bieden lezers een geïnformeerd perspectief op de geschiedenis en de hedendaagse vraagstukken van de Balkan, gevormd door tientallen jaren directe ervaring en betrokkenheid.
