Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the internationalisation process and its impact on the aftermath of the state-building of the Bosnian War by looking into aspects of ethnic tensions between the three constituent ethnic groups. The main framework of analysis is focused on the construction of ethnicity in Bosnia and Herzegovina by tackling the following research question from a socio-constructivist retrospection of the war events: "What were the major factors in the internationalisation of the Bosnian War and what were the outcomes of this process?". The major factors identified in this research work are primarily the reaction of the international community and especially the USA’s conflict resolution, and on a secondary level, media attention and the humanitarian case with the failure of the peacekeeping safe zones in Srebrenica. In the end, there is an identitarian approach to the new political context in Bosnia and Herzegovina by criticising the formation of ethnically dependent state formation.
