Summary/Abstract: By starting from the textual analysis of the American political scientist John Mearsheimer made during the aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina, the central topic of the paper is Mearsheimer’s perspective on the Bosnian issue. The political and administrative setup of Bosnia and Herzegovina is still a relevant topic which is taking the shape of a permanent political crisis. The paper represents the synthesis of Mearsheimer’s conceptions immanent to the theory of the offensive realism, as well as the breakdown of the post-Cold War political processes, which by the rule of causality can be perceived as the catalyst of the aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina. Understanding the current dynamics of political manoeuvres with the emphasis on Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the integral parts of this paper.
