Peacemaking in the Aftermath of Devastation

In the aftermath of the Bosnian War, the international community embarked on an ambitious project of political engineering, aiming to transform a war-torn territory into a multiethnic, democratic, and economically viable state. This book takes a hard look at the issues that Bosnia and Herzegovina continues to face, examining the successes and failures of the international community’s intervention.

Drawing on extensive field experience, the author provides a nuanced analysis of the challenges confronting Bosnia and Herzegovina, juxtaposing big-picture analysis with an intimate knowledge of the region. The book situates the international community’s efforts within the context of Bosnia’s complex historical legacy of coexistence and conflict, offering a deeper understanding of the country’s current predicament.

Through the gripping story of the divided city of Mostar, the book illustrates the challenges of reconciliation and rebuilding in a society deeply scarred by war. It examines the institutional structure and process of Dayton Bosnia, analyzing how the peace accords have shaped the country’s political and economic development. The book also dissects the making of the Dayton peace accords through American-led coercive diplomacy, providing a critical perspective on the role of external powers in shaping Bosnia’s destiny.

Ultimately, the book offers a constructive critique of international peace-building, drawing lessons from the Bosnian experience that can be applied to other conflict-ridden regions around the world. It is a timely examination of the challenges of peacemaking in the aftermath of devastation, essential reading for anyone interested in the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Balkans, and the role of the international community in conflict resolution.
