Dr Halilovic –Pastuovic presents a panel at ISA 59th Annual Convention

Dr Halilovic-Pastuovic presented a panel titled ‘Lessons from Post-Dayton Bosnia Two Decades After the Conflict’ at the ISA annual conference in San Francisco. The panel presented 5 papers and reviewed Bosnia two decades after the Agreement from five perspectives. Two papers (by Dr Halilovic-Pastuovic and Dr Mary Kate Schneider) investigated Bosnian power-sharing system in relation to segregated and ethnicised education. The third paper, by (Dr Margherita Belgioioso) focused on non-sectarian anti-government protests which Bosnia experienced in 2014 and examined differences in mobilization across the two entities created by the Agreement, Federation and Republika Srpska. Fourth paper (by Dr Daniela Lai) focused on socioeconomic dimension in conjunction with justice issues and argued that everyday experiences of socioeconomic injustice in post-war Bosnia represent the basis for the development of redistributive justice claims. The final paper (by Dr Izabela Steflja) highlighted female perpetrators and their role in ethnic nationalism and defense strategies. The discussant on the panel was Dr Dzeneta Karabegovic.
