Ethno-democracy in the Heart of Europe: Political Mobilization and Representation of Ethnic Groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina in a Comparative Perspective

The SCOPES project "Ethnic Quotas and Representation of Minorities in Local Politics in Bosnia and Herzegovina" has focused on political inclusion of minorities at the local level in BiH. In virtually all municipalities in post-war BiH, one of the constituent people forms the ethnic majority, whereas the other two people numerically are local minorities. In some municipalities, these local minorities are represented in the local assemblies through reserved seats. I presented the keynote at the concluding conference, and contributed to publication of a special journal issue.
