Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses values in Bosnia and Herzegovina in their dynamic relationship with the main social problems and characteristics of the political system. First, it highlights the broader context of the post-war Bosnian and Herzegovinian society and points to the key features of the political system that extend collectivist value orientations, especially ethnic ones. Furthermore, using three areas (religion, politics, and gender equality) as key arenas for looking at traditional and (post)modern values, the paper shows how the old and the new intersect in the value mirror of the population in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while it also identifies the role of the key actors in these processes.
