Peace without Politics? Ten Years of State-Building in Bosnia (Cass Series on Peacekeeping)

Peace without Politics? Ten Years of State-Building in Bosnia (Cass Series on Peacekeeping)

by David Chandler (Editor)

Synopsis

Ten years on from the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement in November 1995, the legacy of the Bosnian war still shapes every aspect of the political, social and economic environment of the tiny state.

This state of affairs is highlighted by the fact that Bosnia is still under international control, with the Office of the International High Representative regularly using its powers to dismiss elected presidents, prime-ministers and MPs and to impose legislation over the resistance of elected legislatures at national, regional and local level. What has changed in the ten years since Dayton? Is international regulation helping to establish a sustainable peace in Bosnia? What lessons can be learned for nation-building in Bosnia?

This volume was previously published as a special issue of the leading journal International Peacekeeping.
