Bosnia After Dayton

Drawing on the author's extensive field experience in Bosnia & Hercegovina, this book takes a hard look at the issues that Bosnia continues to face. Juxtaposing big picture analysis with an intimate knowledge of the region, Bose situates the international community's extensive program of state-building and democratisation in BiH since the Dayton Peace Agreement in the context of Bosnia's - and the former Yugoslavia's - complex historical legacy of coexistence and conflict. Bose tells the gripping story of the divided city of Mostar while analysing the institutional structure and proesses of Dayton Bosnia. He dissects the making of the Dayton peace accords through American-led coercive diplomacy and provides a constructive critique of international peace-building.
