Bosnian Fluxes: Everyday entanglements of war, postsocialism and (neo)liberalization in Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina

This research project is concerned with “entanglements” – situated, heterogeneous, and uncertain relations and meshwork – of the 1992–1995 war’s aftermath, postsocialist transformations, and (neo)liberalization in Bosnia and Herzegovina (hereafter BiH) and how these entanglements shape and reshape citizens’ everyday lives in terms of spatial belonging, care, and statistical imagination since the Dayton Peace Accords signed in 1995. Drawing upon historiography, social anthropology, and political science we propose to carry out multidisciplinary research in BiH and the Czech Republic which will 1) contribute to these three fields of study with original theoretical and conceptual insights and 2) enhance the ongoing scientific debate on the historical, political, and sociocultural processes unfolding in Dayton BiH.
