Bu kapsamda konu, Soğuk Savaş sonrası dönemde Bosna Hersek’te ki etnik çatışmanın sebeplerinin irdelenmesi ve etnik kimliğin oluşumum, değerlendirilmesi için seçilmiş teoriler ile birlikte tarihsel arka plan çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.

ETHNIC CONFLICT MOVEMENTS: THE CASE STUDY OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Abstract

If the conflict occurs between two or more ethnic groups, it can be named ‘ethnic conflict’ due to political, social, economic, etc., which either includes violence or not. The issue of ‘ethnic conflict’ can be accepted as one of the special topics in international relations, and it should be discussed with experienced cases to provide research through social sciences. This study aims to contribute the studies of the ethnic conflict in international relations with the history and evaluation of dissolution of Yugoslavia, with the selected case of ‘Bosnia and Herzegovina’. This article examines the issue of 'ethnic conflict' and the historical background in the scope of International Relations. It investigates the ethnic conflict movements of Bosnia and Herzegovina's chosen region, since the Cold War years with appropriate International Relations theories. In this context, the issue was discussed within the historical background framework, together with the selected theories for the analysis and evaluation of the causes of ethnic conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the post-Cold War period on the psychosocial approach and evaluation of ethnic identity.
