title = {The political system of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the fault lines set down in the Dayton Agreement},
year = {2021},
note = {This article seeks to review some of the problems with the political
system of Bosnia and Herzegovina as expressed through the
constitutional provisions of the Dayton Agreement. While the Agreement
brought an end to the physical violence, its creators must have been
aware that the type of state system it envisaged, being composed of
two entities, only put off the solution to the crucial cause of the
problem. The entire mechanism of the political organisation of BiH is
based on the fault lines set down in this Agreement, while the
continuing inter-ethnic struggle in BiH is focused on the questions
which it poses for constitutional government. Furthermore the
moderators of the process retained the right to monitor the
Agreement’s implementation, institutionalising the involvement of
the international community and introducing a continuing role for NATO
in the Balkans. The article considers the political system of BiH as
developed under the Dayton Agreement but turns first to setting the
scene by exploring the territory of the country as a whole and some of
the essential characteristics of its peoples.},
