| Title | The Emergence of the Bosniak Identity Politics in Sandzak in the 1990s |
| Summary | This thesis sets to examine the institutional and political context that influenced the change of identification of the Sandzak Bosniaks. By analyzing the role of the agents of identification, their identity politics, and mechanisms they implemented, I will reconstruct the context in which the Muslim identification was rejected as inadequate. My main argument is that the Bosniak identification was instead embraced by the Sandzak Bosniaks’ agents of identification in order to legitimize political demands addressed to the Serbian authorities. The break-up of Yugoslavia had huge impact on the institutional arrangement of Serbia which was not favorable for the Sandzak Bosniaks. Therefore, different identification emphasizing ethnic distinctiveness was regarded by the Bosniaks’ agents of identification as necessary. |
