Bosna’da Kalıcı Barış Mümkün Mü?

Öz

Can there be a permanent peace in Bosnia? Is the preservation of peace achievable in the multinational state of Bosnia? Or is a formal partition not just the more realistic but the more just alternative in these circumstances? Answering these questions and understanding Bosnia inevitably involves a comprehension of complexity. The debate over Bosnia’s past, present, and future is dominated by essential images and dichotomies: Tolerance or hatred? Civil war or aggression? Integration or partition? If there is one characteristic that is undeniably intrinsic to Bosnia’s past, present, and presumably future, it is complexity and the fluidities and uncertainties that a complex historical legacy brings in its wake. A society shaped on the crossroads of empires for four centuries and on the corner of competing modern nationalisms during a fifth, Bosnia rejects one-dimensional categorization.

Bosna’da Kalıcı Barış Mümkün Mü?

Öz

Bosna’da kalıcı barış mümkün mü? Çok etnisiteli Bosna’da barışın korunması sağlanabilir mi? Yoksa bölünme hem daha gerçekçi hem de daha adil bir çözüm müdür? Bu soruların cevaplanması Bosna’nın karmaşık yapısının anlaşılmasını gerektirir. Bosna’nın tarihi, bugünü ve geleceği üzerine tartışmalar ikilemler üzerinden yapılmaktadır: Hoşgörü mü nefret mi? İç savaş mı saldırı mı? Bütünleşme mi bölünme mi? Eğer Bosna’nın geçmişi, bugünü ve geleceğinin inkâr edilemez bir özelliği var ise, bu da zengin tarihi mirasın getirdiği karmaşıklıklar, akışkanlıklar ve belirsizliklerdir. Dört asır boyunca imparatorlukların kavşağında şekillenen ve beşinci asırda da rekabet içindeki modern milliyetçiliklerin merkezinde bulunan Bosna’nın anlaşılması basit dualistik kavramların ötesinde bir sorunsallaştırmayı gerekli kılmaktadır.
