Summary/Abstract: This paper investigates the phenomenon of political violence in the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through an interdisciplinary approach, various causes, forms and consequences of political violence in the state are investigated. Emphasis is placed on ethnically motivated incidents, political corruption, election manipulations and institutional crises, and their role in destabilizing the political system and society. Through the analysis of examples of political violence in the past and present, the factors that contribute to the escalation of violence, as well as strategies for prevention and dealing with it, are investigated.. The focus of the research is the identification of key factors that influence political violence, including ethnic tensions, lack of rule of law, economic inequality, and lack of reconciliation from the past. The goal of the research is to understand the complexity of political violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in order to develop effective policies and strategies for building peace, stability and inter-ethnic reconciliation in the country, that is, to avoid future political violence and ensure sustainable political stability in the country.
