From the Paper
"... the fragmentation of the former Yugoslav Federation led to an outbreak of civil warfare and ethnic violence in the Balkans particularly in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Abstract

From the Paper
"The paper focuses on the ethnic and religious changes that took place in Bosnia during 17th-18th centuries by putting them in the right context. The essay is encompassed within the multiple borderland courses by approaching all the shifts Bosnia encountered as a border province on Triplex Confinium. The aim is to deal not only with the political features of the border but also with its human aspects and to surprise how the border shifts affected the human environment. In order to achieve this a comparative approach based on the consequences of actions."

Abstract
This research paper traces the evolution of American involvement in and international strategy toward Bosnia during the period beginning with the outbreak of war among indigenous forces there in early 1992 and continuing to the present time. It begins by discussing the war in Bosnia and U.S. international strategy after the end of the Cold War. It then discusses Bush's strategy vis-a-vis Bosnia and Clinton administration non-strategy. The writer then addresses the reassertion of American leadership in 1994-95 and concludes the implementation of the Dayton Accords.

From the Paper
"The international strategy of any nation contains three elements: its foreign policy (ends or goals) and the means used to achieve those goals (foreign policy means, including the use of diplomacy, the threat of or use of military power, and economic tools, such as foreign aid, trade, etc.), as permitted or constrained by foreign policy resources (including the sinews of national economic and military capacity and strength, and intangible sources of national power, such as international prestige and reputation, national will and public support). International strategy consists of three basic elements or components: global strategy, regional strategy and strategy toward a particular nation or state. The primary thesis of this paper is that the United States failed for at least four years to develop and, therefore, implement through appropriate use of diplomacy and military force an effective international strategy for dealing with the Bosnian war because it suffered from confusion as to its basic objectives there and a lack of conviction that its vital interests were involved. Even today, four years after the signing of the Dayton Accords, legitimate questions can be raised as to whether American policy makers, the Congress or the American public sufficiently appreciate the long-term nature of the commitments they have undertaken in Bosnia and whether they are prepared to stay the course long enough to complete them."

Abstract
This paper examines the tensions that existed between Croats, Muslims and Serbs in Bosnia and examines the conditions that led to the recent war there. The paper also discusses the response to the conflict of the United Nations, the European Union and the United States and the reasons for the ethnic cleansing that took place during the conflict. Finally, the paper considers whether it was wise for the west to intervene in Bosnia and concludes emphatically that it was the right decision.

From the Paper
"Nikolaos A. Stavrou, professor of International Affairs at Howard University and apologist for the Croatian factor of Yugoslavia writes that the Bosnian mess is getting worse by the day. According to Professor Stavou, a misinformation cabal and a masterful censorship of truth that would have made many dictators envious keep the American people in the dark. Instead of enlightenment, a new science of victimology has been developed to hide facts and force upon us a policy based on emotions. He writes that everywhere he traveled and at every conference he attended in the past four years, one question always popped up: Where is the other side to the Bosnia story? The professor has no answer, but feels a civic duty to attempt an answer."

Abstract
This paper takes a historical look at the nations of Poland and Bosnia-Herzegovina and compares and contrasts their societies and economic systems. The paper discusses both their similarities and their differences, examining their social and economic structure in both the post-communist era as well as the medieval era.

From the Paper
"The culture area or geographic region within which the human population shares similar culture traits, patterns of cultural ecology and a similar ways of life for Poland and Bosnia-Herzegovina have perhaps only one common political thread, post communism. Each society's cultural traits include many of the same desires felt in western countries that have material form, a recognized function, or an acknowledged value to their culturally related group. None of the foregoing functions independently; rather, each influences others in such universal cultural institutions as religion, political and economic systems, and those means by which a society attempts to maintain internal stability, defends itself against real or perceived threats, and sustains itself through the use of material environmental resources. Bosnia-Herzegovina is a society of two: Muslims and Croats. Their economy struggling out of the quagmire of civil war. Poland on the other hand, began its parliamentary democracy in 1989 pulling its economy, not from civil unrest, but near bankruptcy."

Abstract
This paper begins by providing an introduction and overview of the Bosnia-Herzegovina crisis. It then examines the Dayton Peace Accords and discusses what the role of the Accords was meant to be, the aims and purposes, and, finally, why the Accords failed.

From the Paper
"The conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina stems from the hostility between peoples united by territory, heritage, and language, yet divided by religion. The proponents of the war are the Orthodox, Catholics and Muslims who share the territory of Yugoslavia. After World War I, the United States, Britain, and France established new territorial boundaries of the remnants of the war during the Versailles Conference of 1919. The conference resulted in the combining of the former members of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, with Montenegro and Serbia. This formed of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, or "land of the South Slavs." "

Abstract
A brief essay on the country of Bosnia. The paper includes a look at the history, geography and politics of the former Yugoslavian state. The paper explains that due to the long history of invasions and conquerors, the Bosnian people is made of a wide mix of ethnic and religious groups. This is the cause of the many conflicts that exist even to this day.

From the Paper
"The area has a long history, and during the years of Ottoman rule, many Christians became Muslim, and moved into the ruling class working for the Turks. Other residents of the areas viewed this as collaboration, especially when the pattern was repeated during World War II and the same group of people collaborated with the Nazis. This has caused tremendous resentment against Bosnian Muslims by Catholics and Orthodox."
