| الملخص: | The primary aim of this study is to examine and analyze the political system of Bosnia
and Herzegovina (1995-2005) which emerged from the Dayton Peace Agreement
(DPA). Power-sharing (consociational) model which emphasizes the role of the
political elites is used as the most appropriate approach in order to study post-Dayton
Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study identifies factors that are conducive to
cooperative behavior of domestic elite. These factors are: nature of social cleavages,
size of various ethnic groups and segmental isolation. Elite behavior is examined in
terms of a grand collation, segmental autonomy, proportional representation and
mutual veto. Study shows that Bosnia’s political elites have been confrontational and
non-cooperative which normally leads to political instability. However, during this
period the country has achieved political stability and moderate economic
development. This has been possible due to an external factor embodied in the Office
of the High Representative (OHR). High Representative has made unilateral decisions
and passed the laws that domestic political elites have not been able to agree upon.
This has enabled the country to function in the post-Dayton period. The study
benefited enormously from government documents, personal interviews, documents
published by the United Nations, Office of the High Representative, local newspapers,
journals, magazines and books. |
