| Title | Consociation as an Impediment to EU Accession The Case of Bosnia and Herzegovina |
| Summary | The principal premises of consociational constitutional framework are exhaustive. They are contingent and predicated upon a number of factors which are at the center of interest of political science. Bosnia and Herzegovina and its constitutional framework fall within this ambit and stand out as a par excellence political issue. The constitutional framework of the country was further strained when the European Court of Human Rights delivered ‘Sejdic and Finci’ decision; the decision created a new challenge to the consociational arrangement of the country – one, incapable of providing a bare minimum for accession to the European Union. The following discussion analyses the impact of the Sejdic Court’s decision on the fragile constitutional state building capacity and its capacity to accede to the EU. It does not purport the judgment to be the answer to overly complex issue of Bosnia and Herzegovina; however, where political science falls short to advance a fresh, omnipotent solution – international court’s intervention may be the way forward. |
