In 1995 none of the political parties representing the peoples of
Bosnia preferred a federal option. Yet, Bosnia became a federal
state, highly decentralised and with a complex institutional
architecture. This solution was imposed on them by international
actors as a result of peace negotiations following the Yugoslav
wars. Political parties in post-war Bosnia were not willing to
identify with or accept the federation. The international community
intervened taking over key decisions and so Bosnia and Herzegovina
became the first state to experience a new model of federalism,
namely 'imposed federalism' and a new model of a federal state,
that of the 'internationally administered federation'. By combining
comparative politics, conflict analysis and international relations
theory Soeren Keil offers a unique analysis of federalism in
post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina. By exploring this model of
'imposed federalism' not only does this study greatly contribute to
the literature on developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina it also
re-evaluates comparative federalism in theory and practice. This
study also offers important conclusions for similar cases, both in
the Western Balkans region and the wider world, where international
involvement and federalism as a method of conflict resolution in
diverse societies becomes ever more prevalent and important.
