Senator Richard Lugar and the Bosnian War
The 1992-1995 war in Bosnia generated a significant interest across the Atlantic. For three-and-a-half years, Bosnia was present in the American public life with continuous media reports of the war and the genocide being perpetrated in this part of the Balkans. American policymakers in the George H. W. Bush and the Bill Clinton Administrations grappled with formulating a response to the war. While the executive branch took hesitant steps in respo…
Munich, Vietnam, Beirut or Somalia: Historical analogies in American debates over the 1992–1995 Bosnian war
American Realists and the War in Bosnia 1992-1995
While there is a significant body of literature on U.S. policy towards Bosnia in the early 1990s, the role and policy recommendations of American realists have been largely overlooked. Realism is a school of thought in international relations which holds that states are the key actors motivated by interests which seek to maximize their power and security in an anarchic world. Adherents of this worldview emphasize the pursuit of national interests…
A Supporter in Vienna: Simon Wiesenthal and the War in Bosnia
The author gives an inventory of Simon Wiesenthal’s advocacy for Bosnia during the 1992–1995 war. Though Wiesenthal played an active role in speaking up for Bosnia, his activism has been largely neglected in the existing literature. Based on primary sources at the Simon Wiesenthal Archive in Vienna, this article pieces together the story of how the famed Nazi hunter supported Bosnia-Herzegovina. Wiesenthal acted by speaking up about the atrocitie…
A Christmas Ceasefire: Jimmy Carter’s Peace Mission to Bosnia in 1994
In December 1994, former US president, Jimmy Carter, travelled to the Bosnian Serb stronghold of Pale outside Sarajevo where he was hosted by rebel leader Radovan Karadžić. Carter negotiated a four-month ceasefire between the Bosnian government and Bosnian Serb forces. This article reconstructs how the Carter mission unfolded, the motivations behind the initiative and how the interests of different actors converged to facilitate the ceasefire. Dr…
Sèvres at 100: The Peace Treaty that Partitioned the Ottoman Empire
The aim of this article is to analyse the Treaty of Sèvres (1920), its implications and legacy. Concluded a hundred years ago, this Treaty sought to partition what remained of the then Ottoman Empire. The Turkish war of independence ensured that this did not materialize and abrogated the SèvresTreaty. While this non-implemented treaty still resonates in Turkey, relatively little continues to be published in English language publications. This art…

A War Seen From the Hill: U.S. Helsinki Commission and the War in Bosnia 1992–1995
The aim of this article is to reconstruct how the U.S. Helsinki Commission perceived the war in Bosnia (1992-1995) and its efforts to shape the US response to it. As an independent U.S. Government agency, the Commission played an active role in drawing attention to the war in Bosnia and putting forth policy options for the U.S. Administration. Based on publicly available transcripts of Commission's hearings over the three year period, this articl…
Camp David and Dayton: Comparing Jimmy Carter and Richard Holbrooke as Mediators
u.s. mediation towards resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict in the 1970s and Balkan conflicts in the 1990s may not seem comparable at first. Differences between these conflicts in terms of history, duration and dynamics abound. The nature and level of u.s. involvement provides further contrasts. Yet, the Camp David negotiations in 1978 and the Dayton Peace Talks in 1995 offer striking parallels in terms of third-party mediator actions undertaken. …

Džemal Bijedić: Politička biografija
The tragic death of Džemal Bijedić in an airplane crash on a cold January morning in 1977 epitomized for many the end of an era. In death his stature rose, and anniversaries of the tragic crash even now, nearly forty years later, are covered on the evening news in Bosnia. From humble beginnings in the southern Herzegovinian town of Mostar, Bijedić rose to become one of Josip Broz Tito's closest lieutenants and the highest-ranking Muslim official …

US Neoconservative Support and Policy Activism for Bosnia, 1992–1995: Correcting the Record
The aim of this article is to trace neoconservative thought in the US and policy activism on the role of the US in Bosnia during the 1992–1995 genocide. This paper argues that, on the issue of intervention in Bosnia, neoconservatives in the US comprised two camps. Neoconservative former government officials were early and consistent advocates of an assertive US intervention in Bosnia. However, the neoconservative academics were a heterogeneous gr…
Commemorating Srebrenica: Introduction to the Special Issue
The aim of this Special Issue is to commemorate the genocide victims in Bosnia on the occasion of 20th anniversary of the capture of UN safe area of Srebrenica in July 1995.

While there has been a growing literature on this subject over the last two decades, this Special…
‘One-Way Ticket to Kuala Lumpur’: Bosnian Muslims in Malaysia in the Early 1990s
The aim of this article is to analyse the emergence of a Bosnian Muslim community in Malaysia during the 1992–1995 war in Bosnia and answer central questions of how and why this community formed in a distant Southeast Asian state. The community that developed there in the early 1990s included professionals, students, and concentration camp survivors and their families — the vast majority of whom arrived during the war, in late 1992 and early 1993…

Bosnian Muslim contribution took the form of establishing committees for the collection of voluntary donations in a number of Bosnian to…
In Support of a Non-member State: The Organisation of Islamic Conference and the War in Bosnia, 1992–1995

The aim of this article is to analyze how the OIC sought to support a non-OIC member state, to study diplomatic initiatives undertaken and to assess their results. An analysis of war-time Bosnian media reports on OIC initiatives will provide an insight into how the OIC'…
