REVIEW OF DEMOCRACY AND ETHNIC RELATIONS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to use the language of the profession and science to highlight the current relationships and possibilities for the development of democratic principles and institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina on one hand, and on the other hand, ethnicity as a concept and phenomenon, which, according to some contemporary experts on social conditions and issues, is a significant obstacle to the development of a modern multiethnic state. Perhaps this modern multiethnic state with democratic institutions currently seems like a political utopia from the time of Thomas Hobbes, but judging by the current relations, as well as the complexity of these relations within Bosnia and Herzegovina, the construction of a multiethnic state with democratic institutions will be “on hold” for some time, most likely until the reconfiguration of the world order into a multipolar world.
