The 20th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Agreement (DPA) signifies that Bosnia and Herzegovina has been going through the conflict resolution, peace building and state building processes. Although the conflict resolution and peace building could be considered as significant international, regional and local political and diplomatic accomplishments, the state-building process has been very slow and partially satisfactory. Bosnia and Herzegovina is usually perceived, both inside and outside the country, as unstable and insecure democratic state. Countering such negative perceptions, the book Bosnia and Herzegovina: Law, Society and Politics aims to present objective, constructive and positive developments related to the constitution, administration, banking, economics, higher education, politics, society, security, media and healthcare. Therefore, this book included the scholarly works from twenty-eight international and local authors whose knowledge and practical experience on different subjects and issues, ranging from the country’s laws, economic growth, foreign policy, unemployment, security and return of refugees, are meaningfully incorporated in this very unique publication.
