Bosnia and Herzegovina: The Challenge of Legitimacy / Tobias K. Vogel / Swiss Peace Foundation

http://www.isn.ethz.ch/isn/Digital-Library/Publications/Detail/?ots591=0c54e3b3-1e9c-be1e-2c24-a6a8c7060233&lng=en&id=25823

Within the parameters of peace implementation, the international community in Bosnia has done quite well, but it has failed to put in place the foundations of a proper state, though building blocks do exist (a credible judiciary at the state level, for example). The forward-looking provisions of the GFAP have only been haltingly activated, and their transformative potential was never put at the service of a unified end-state vision. Highly recommended.
