Turning Points in Post-War Bosnia: Ownership Process and European Integration

The tenth anniversary of the Dayton Peace Agreement in December 2005 provides a unique occasion to review its achievements and shortcomings, as well as future challenges to be faced both by the international community and Bosnia and Herzegovina itself. The country has received huge amounts of attention and inquiry; this book outlines some basic trends, focusing on three essential issues: democratisation and transitions processes, country owner-ship, and potential turning points. These issues are addressed in a non-dogmatic way in the spirit of constructive criticism. The conclusion is that both the EU and Bosnia must take their opportunities and responsibilities now.
