Demokratija i protektorat
Democracy and Protectorate

Summary/Abstract: Generally accepting Mill's reservation regarding possibility of polyarchy (de­mocracy) in ethnic complex regions author analyzes – within contex of dissolving of communist world and renaissance of nationalisms – recent his­to­ri­cal events in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the emergence of that state and the pre­sent situation in it. In his analysis he consults leading theoretists in field of poli­ti­cal thought. Assessing that this country has in ten years gone from "bolshevik to­talitarism" to "colonial despotism", author rejects Knaus/Martin's claim that "fo­reigners in Bosnia develop democracy by means of dictatorship" and argues that this kind of thinking is basically wrong and potentially dangerous.
