The Forest Policy in Bosnia-Herzegovina under the Habsburg Government: Opposition and Compromise between the State Intervention and Common Rights

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to analyze the forest policy of the Habsburg government. Bosnia-Herzegovina was mainly agricultural land under the Habsburg monarchy. According to the census in 1910, about 88 percent of the inhabitants were engaged in agriculture. In addition, the surface area of Bosnia-Herzegovina was 51,155 square kilometers of which more than half was forest. Negatively evaluating the governance of the Habsburg authorities in Bosnia-Herzegovina in general, historiography considers its agricultural policy a particular failure. Although the forest (including the pasture) was essential for the annual revenue of Bosnia-Herzegovina and for the farm management and livestock breeding of the peasant population, only slight attention has been paid to the forest policy. For example, Sugar and Begović studied the national forest development policy under Habsburg rule but did not engage in study of the forest administrative system and regulation of the inhabitants’ usufructuary rights (in German, Servitut). Imamović explains this problem, but he does not handle the entire policy. Under such research conditions, this article focuses on these problems.
