Bosna-Hersek Çöküş Halinde Olan Bir Devlet Mi?
Bosnia-Herzegovina, A Failing State?

Summary/Abstract: Bosnia-Herzegovina witnessed a bloody civil war during the dissolution of Yugoslavia, in parallel with the ethno-cultural and religious diversity that she possesses. By finishing the civil war, Dayton Agreement is also created a political outlook that legitimizes the identity based societal differences in administrative terms. The state apparatus that Dayton has built, constrained the disagreements related with societal identities into the political units that are disjointed and paved the way for the continuation of identity based alienation. This reality also avoids the federal (central) government to have a political legitimacy within the context of federate and other sub level administrative authorities. Failed state approach defines the states, which lose their monopoly of being the unique authority on their home stall, experience political and economical instability and wrapped up with security problems and fraud. When we assess the political outlook of Bosnia-Herzegovina, many prescriptions of the “failed state approach”urged will give the meaning that this country could be seen as a failing state.
