Bosnia and Herzegovina: a continuation of war by other means
Bosnia and Herzegovina: a continuation of war by other means

Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the state-building process in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina, and thus contributes to the literature on state-building processes in the post-war multinational countries. By analyzing the overall value of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the contemporary predicament of the Bosnian state, the article engages with the most challenging issue on the Bosnian political agenda – the much needed constitutional reform. Through the evaluation of the presented alternatives for the current Bosnian constitutional framework, the article comes to the conclusion that the model of the consociational confederalism, with a further decentralization of the country, may be the only feasible constitutional reform package for ensuring the self-sustainability of the country.
