Democratization processes and their impact on sustainable peacebuilding in post-conflict society: a comparative case study for Bosnia and Croatia

Bachelor thesis | Politicologie (BSc)

The positive and negative impacts of democratization processes on long-term peacebuilding in post-conflict societies has not yet been studied enough. Through a comparative case studies of two former Yugoslav nations, Croatia and Bosnia, this paper argues that while democratization processes can be good for stability, they must consider the long-term as well as the pre-existing local communities and structures of a society in a post- conflict context, for peacebuilding efforts to be successful in the long term.
