M.A. March 2006. Communication Studies History and Development of the Communication Regulatory Agency in Bosnia and Herzegovina 1998 – 2005 (247 pp.) Director of Thesis: Gregory Newton During the war against Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) over 250,000 people were killed, and countless others were injured and lost loved ones. Almost half of the B&H population was forced from their homes. The ethnic map of the country was changed drastically and overall damage was estimated at US $100 billion. Experts agree that misuse of the media was largely responsible for the events that triggered the war and kept it going despite all attempts at peace. This study examines and follows the efforts of the international community to regulate the broadcast media environment in postwar B&H. One of the greatest challenges for the international community in B&H was the elimination of hate language in the media. There was constant resistance from the local ethnocentric political parties in the establishment of the independent media regulatory body and implementation of new standards.

OPTIMISM FOR THE NEW 2019 YEAR CONTINUES TO PREVAIL IN THE WORLD, ALTHOUGH PESSIMISM IS INCREASING ACCORDING TO THE FIRST AND OLDEST GLOBAL HOPE “END OF THE YEAR” INDEX BY GALLUP INTERNATIONAL Prospects for a better 2019 year are increasing for a majority of those surveyed in Africa (typically quite an optimistic region despite living conditions), in India, in non-EU Europe, in the USA and in Latin America. Conversely, we also see more pessimism about the year ahead in the Middle East, in Russia, and to an extent in Western Europe. Over all optimism for the new Year traditionally prevails in the majority of the countries around the world with the exception this year of Turkey, Serbia, UK, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, Bosnia (BiH), Bulgaria, Hong Kong, France, Italy, Lebanon, Jordan and Republic of Korea. Our global survey also asked whether people expect the next 12 months to be more or less peaceful. While 27% of the world expect it to be more peaceful, 35% believe it will be more troubled. Confidence in peace shines brightest in India, Ghana, Albania, Nigeria and interestingly in Pakistan.

  • Optimism for the New 2019 Year Continues to Prevail in the World, Although Pessimism Is Increasing
    OPTIMISM FOR THE NEW 2019 YEAR CONTINUES TO PREVAIL IN THE WORLD, ALTHOUGH PESSIMISM IS INCREASING, according to the first and oldest Global Hope “End of the Year” Index by Gallup International. Prospects for a better 2019 year are increasing for a majority of those surveyed in Africa (typically quite an optimistic region despite living conditions), in India, in non-EU Europe, in the USA and in Latin America. Conversely, we also see more pessimism about the year ahead in the Middle East, in Russia, and to an extent in Western Europe. Over all optimism for the new Year traditionally prevails in the majority of the countries around the world with the exception this year of Turkey, Serbia, UK, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, Bosnia (BiH), Bulgaria, Hong Kong, France, Italy, Lebanon, Jordan and Republic of Korea. Our global survey also asked whether people expect the next 12 months to be more or less peaceful. While 28% of the world expect it to be more peaceful, 34% believe it will be more troubled. Confidence in peace shines brightest in India, Ghana, Albania, Nigeria and interestingly in Pakistan. At the other end of the scale, ongoing weekend protests in France and the ‘gilets jaunes’ see France register as the country where the most (70%) feel next year will be more troubled. Kancho Stoychev, President GIA: “For decades the End of the Year global poll is registering a paradox: people living in wealthier countries tend to be more pessimistic about the coming New Year. And vice versa. It seems that the fear of losing what you have is bigger than the fear not to have.

  • Bosnia & Herzegovina
    Negative trends associated with the media sphere in previous years persist, such as the media’s low level of professionalism, poor protection and conditions for journalists, a weak and oversaturated media market, an unsustainable public media service, a fragmented media scene, and political influence. BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA 16 EUROPE & EURASIA MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2014 introduction OVERALL SCORE: 2.04 BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) did not show signs of political or economic stabilization in 2013. The governing political parties avoided focusing on substantive reforms and implementing international standards. In April, Ba new political party launched—the Democratic Front, led by Željko Komšić, the Croat member of the B&H tripartite presidency. In the same month, the president of the Federation of B&H, Živko Budimir, was arrested on the accusation of taking bribes to approve amnesties but was released in May due to lack of evidence. In June 2013, public protests in front of Sarajevo’s parliament building and in other cities in B&H highlighted the lack of regulation of citizen IDs for newborns. The citizen initiative across B&H, although holding a promise of revolutionary change, ended as an unsuccessful bid to change politicians’ corruption, inequality, and incompetence. Finally, at the beginning of November, the B&H House of Peoples, in an emergency session and without debate, adopted the proposed amendments and changes to the law on ID numbers. The fact that the protests were organized through online platforms and social media illustrated new media’s growing influence in socially mobilizing the country. However, Serb and Croat parliamentarians framed the protests as an ethnically driven threat to their security and refused to attend parliamentary sessions for several weeks.

  • Reconstruction National Integrity System Survey FINAL DRAFT
    Reconstruction National Integrity System Survey Bosnia and Herzegovina 2007 FINAL DRAFT RNISS Bosnia and Herzegovina 2007 Report Authors Omer Car, Zarko Papic International Bureau for Humanitarian Issues, Bosnia and Herzegovina The National Integrity System The National Integrity System (NIS) approach was developed by Jeremy Pope to understand the weaknesses of state institutions and the failings of previous reform initiatives by asking about corruption from a number of perspectives: the causes of corruption; the relationships of the Executive to other state institutions; key areas where corruption occurs or where democratisation is constrained; those institutions or areas with a role to play in promoting reform and democratisation, and for dealing with corruption; progress with government strategy and donor anti-corruption initiatives; and the relative strengths and weaknesses of these institutions or areas on an individual and collective basis to ensure their own capacity to be free from corruption (‘corruption-proofing’) as well as to promote a more integrated approach to dealing with corruption. The Reconstruction NIS (RNIS) takes the approach further by using it to assess post- conflict countries as they rebuild the state and move toward democratistaion. The RNIS provides a framework through which to assess the impact and legacies of conflict, the multiple political and institutional issues, and the role of donors, not only generally in terms of reconstruction, anti-corruption development, and priorities but also in terms of the often complex and continuing issues of power, corruption and democratization. The RNIS country studies worked to a common template, requiring a country overview and corruption profile, supported by evidence of patterns, levels and causes of corruption.
