The Dayton Accords brought the Bosnian war to an end in November 1995, establishing a detailed framework for the reconstitution of the Bosnian state and its consolidation through a process of democratization. The purported aims were to lay the foundations for a stable, Western-style liberal democracy, strengthening civil society, overcoming ethnic division, fostering political accountability and thus guaranteeing the highest levels of civic and human rights. The author of this book analyzes the policies and the results of the democratization process; revealing --- through extensive original research --- that the process of democratization has in fact done virtually nothing to develop democracy in this troubled country, and that political autonomy and accountability is now further away, after almost three years of external administration, than at any time since the outbreak of the Bosnian war. In a measured but damning critique, Chandler concludes that the real dynamic behind international intervention in Bosnia has very little to do with any altruistic desire to aid the people of Bosnia. * An indictment of the international communitys experiment in "political engineering" * Poses a critical question for post Cold War international relations: Can democracy be imposed?

Why is the international engagement in Bosnia and Herzegovina taking so long? In this informative analysis of the international programs to democratize Bosnia, David Chandler properly redirects attention from Bosnian failings to international agendas. It deserves urgent and serious attention by all those who care about the future of Bosnia, Balkan stability, and above all, democracy -- before the corrosive effect of justifiable cynicism takes hold.
