BH SOCIETY BETWEEN THE APATHY AND AFFECTATION

Summary/Abstract: The article entitled “B-H Society between the Apathy and Affectation” has the goal to give analysis, from the socio-psychological aspect, of the state of will and range of the political factors to change the current conditions and relations in the society. The lack of will to make changes both in state of affairs and current situation; the constant finding of excuses and keeping the “status quo” via manipulation and subjecting to the ideology is clearly visible from the previous activities. Such state of affairs suits the most to the incompetent political elites, who by throwing the dust in eyes, attempt to run economic and privatization processes in their favor, by the leverages of authority, although without any responsibility for consequences and relations these reforms are inducing. Challenging and negating of some state’s very entity falls into the category of apathy, characterized by the lack of will to change thing for the better. The governance, as the general welfare of all citizens, has been instrumentalised and reduced to political elites that do not posses responsibility, yet having the actual social power and influence. The legal norms alone cannot explain that situation, therefore needing the social and psychological analysis as necessary. The domestic elites are not just in the state of affectation, yet the international community’s representatives are utilizing that method, which can be most clearly demonstrated through the Office of Higher Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their effectiveness, in previous fifteen years, is negligible, apart from training local intellectual and political to make some significant changes and to propose, as joined vision and possibility the forces of change’s strategic actions. Superficial analysis indicates that current state in the BH society is programmed by the International forces specifically to the backwardness and experimenting, not to the development and changes which a society, a state and its constitutional and legal order much need. After all, a question is being made whether a way out and solution for a maladious society, such is the one in B-H exists. Of course there is a solution, it should be reached by the truth and cognition, not through the blurred ideology and twisted history. A new approach is needed, the one that is facing the presence, without looking back, with a vision how to move forward.
