Serbia’s Balancing Act
Symbolic geographies of pre- and post-Yugoslav identities
Serbia after Yugoslavia
Serbia’s foreign policy choices reflect a profound identity crisis. While Serbia denies the independence of Kosovo, it simultaneously pursues membership in the European Union. My approach to understanding these tensions offers an alternative to the mainstream, liberal perspective whereby Serbian foreign policy claims are reduced to purely ideological explanations, thereby, ignoring the complex interplay between social identity crisis and politica…
Through the 21st century looking glass
An often underrated but significant debate among Serbian intellectuals is how best to interpret Serbia's political development from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Conventional, mainstream understanding is that this period culminated in the golden era of Serbian democracy that lasted from 1903 to 1914. I identify this approach as a liberal‐national interpretation of this period. On their part, Serbian critical historians env…
Citizens of an empty nation
Azra Hromadžic is one of the most insightful researchers writing on the challenges of integration of divided spaces in a post-conflict Bosnia–Herzegovina. Citizens of an Empty Nation further develo
Dayton +20
More than twenty years after the signing of the Dayton Peace Accords, Bosnia and Herzegovina remains a prominent case for peacebuilding in other divided societies. Scholars and policy-makers alike refer to the diverse lessons learned from the Bosnian case.

Local Uses of International Criminal Justice in Bosnia-Herzegovina
Transitionaljustice mechanisms and the International Criminal Tribunal for the FormerYugoslavia (ICTY) have had only a limited success in overcoming ethnic divisionsin Bosnia-Herzegovina. Rather than elaborating upon the role of local politicalelites in perpetuating ethnic divisions, we examine ordinary peoples’ popularperceptions of war and its aftermath. In our view, the idea that elites havecomplete control over the broader narratives about th…

Dilemmas of Nation-building and Citizenship in Dayton Bosnia
The Dayton Peace Accord signed in Paris on 14 December 1995 aimed to forge a unified state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and a common identity based on liberal democratic values. However, ethnic fragmentation and cantonisation, resort to administrative fiat and constitutional ambiguities in the definition of citizenship have prevented the establishment of an authentic democratic and multi-ethnic state. Some progress has been made in opening state ins…
