A Bosnian Fortress
A BOSNIAN FORTRESS Return, energy and the future of Bosnia This report has been produced in cooperation with Populari (Sarajevo) This research has been supported by the Foreign Ministry of Norway It is also part of the ESI New Economic Geography project All opinions expressed in this report are those of ESI and Populari only 19 December 2007 Berlin – Sarajevo Executive summary Twelve years after its own vicious war, Bosnia and Herzegovina has changed tremendously. It has seen the large-scale return of displaced persons, the return of property and a comprehensive process of demilitarisation. Freedom of movement has been restored. Interethnic violence has disappeared. New institutions at the state level govern an increasingly integrated single market. The changes that have taken place in Bosnia over the past twelve years have been no less profound than those which transformed Western Europe in the 12 years after World War II. This report investigates conditions in a municipality in Republika Srpska on the former frontline that was once infamous as a hotbed of (Serb) nationalism. Doboj, divided by the war and today split into four parts, has long been a mirror of wider trends. Ten years ago, Doboj was notorious as a centre of hard-line nationalism. The Bosniak and Croat villages in the vicinity had been ruthlessly destroyed. The few remaining non-Serbs were under intense pressure to leave. The SDS (Serb Democratic Party), founded by indicted war criminal Radovan Karadzic, held Doboj firmly in its grip. There was little reason for hope that the multiethnic life of this region could ever be restored. -

y gathering 39 local scholars, experts, and civil society activists specialized in racism and human rights, the fourth edition of the European Islamophobia Report addresses a still timely and politically important issue. All 34 country Breports included in this book follow a unique structure that is convenient, first, for com- EUROPEAN paring country reports and, second, for selected readings on a particular topic such as politics, employment, or education with regards to Islamophobia across Europe. ISLAMOPHOBIA The present report investigates in detail the underlying dynamics that directly or indirectly support the rise of anti-Muslim racism in Europe. This extends from Islamophobic state- ments spread in national media to laws and policies that restrain the fundamental rights REPORT of European Muslim citizens. As a result, the European Islamophobia Report 2018 dis- cusses the impact of anti-Muslim discourse on human rights, multiculturalism, and the 2018 state of law in Europe. This fourth edition of our report highlights how European societies are challenged by the ENES BAYRAKLI • FARID HAFEZ (Eds) rise of violent far-right groups that do not only preach hatred of Muslims but also partici- pate in the organization of bloody terror attacks. The rise of far-right terrorist groups such as AFO (Action of Operational Forces) in France or the network Hannibal in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland confirms EUROPOL’s alarming surveys on the growing danger of right-wing terrorism. This year, SETA worked in cooperation with the Leopold Weiss Institute, an Austrian NGO based in Vienna dedicated to the research of Muslims in Europe. In addition, the Euro- pean Union has funded the European Islamophobia Report 2018 through the program EUROPEAN ISLAMOPHOBIA REPORT 2018 “Civil Society Dialogue Between EU and Turkey (CSD-V)”. -
A Bosznia-Hercegovinai Szerb Köztársaság Politikai Földrajza a Daytoni Megállapodás Revíziójának Tükrében
A BOSZNIA-HERCEGOVINAI SZERB KÖZTÁRSASÁG POLITIKAI FÖLDRAJZA A DAYTONI MEGÁLLAPODÁS REVÍZIÓJÁNAK TÜKRÉBEN POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE REPUBLIKA SRPSKA OF BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA IN LIGHT OF THE REVISION OF THE DAYTON PEACE AGREEMENT PÁMER ZOLTÁN közgazdász, Európa-szakértő a Pécsi Tudományegyetem Közgazdaságtudományi Kara Regionális politika és gazdaságtan doktori iskolájának levelező hallgatója Abstract The aim of the paper is to concisely present the Republika Srpska (RS) from the aspect of political geography. RS has been unilaterally proclaimed 18 years ago when the war in Bosnia started, but has already been existing for 14 years legally resulted by the Dayton peace agreement as entity of the decentralized state of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH). The paper gives a short historic insight on its genesis, the most decisive conditions de- fined by either international and national (entity) law and the manifestations of its semi- state position: spatial structure, administration, the question of the capitol, its symbols and economic orientation. The political structure will be presented as well in order to highlight the sensitive political situation in RS and in BiH in general, special attention paid to the circumstances resulted by the independence of Kosovo. Finally I try to investigate the possible scenarios for the near future, in connection with the country's and the West Bal- kan's EU integration. 1. A dolgozat célja Az alábbi rövid dolgozattal az a célom, hogy röviden bemutassam a 18 éve de facto, 14 éve de jure fennálló bosznia-hercegovinai Szerb Köztársaság (a továbbiakban RS) közjogi helyzetét politikai földrajzi szemüvegen keresztül, különös figyelmet szentelve az utóbbi két év történéseinek, melyek a kezdeti óvatos optimizmust ellenére ismét Bosznia-Herce- govina (továbbiakban BiH), mint állam dezintegrációja irányába mutatnak. -

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles A Thorn in the Eye: Bosnian Mixed-Ethnicity Families in a Polarized Land A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology by Hannah Keziah Conrad 2014 Copyright by Hannah Keziah Conrad 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Thorn in the Eye: Bosnian Mixed-Ethnicity Families in a Polarized Land by Hannah Keziah Conrad Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Douglas W. Hollan, Chair This dissertation draws on extensive field experience in Sarajevo between 2002-2012 to provide an intimate account of how individuals from mixed families in Bosnia today manage their sense of self and their kin relationships in the face of pressures to align themselves with a single ethno- national category. Such families, which were associated with the socialist rhetoric of “brotherhood and unity” during the Yugoslav period, came under severe pressure during the war, as the populations of entire towns fled “ethnic cleansing” and sought safety in territories controlled by their own people. Mixed families and persons continue to represent “a thorn in the eye” that troubles nationalism, unsettling national categories and insistently recalling histories of interconnection that bind the peoples of the Balkans despite war and the ravages of communal hatred. ii This work traces the repercussions of mixing, the challenging experiments with ethno- religious affiliation that face not only the marriage partners, but move through extended kin networks and profoundly influence the lives of children born into the family. Using audio and video recordings made over 12 months in 2011-2012 among 11 families in Sarajevo, the dissertation focuses on everyday family interactions—routines and conversations located in households—as a way of gaining insight into the micro-processes through which persons and identities are constituted as kin relations are enacted.
