| Title | The Impact of Dayton and Ohrid Peace Agreements on the Everyday: How do Local People Live the Peace Process in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia |
| Summary | This research will provide the empirical contribution to the ongoing debate on the exportation of liberal norms during the peace-building process. It will do so by using the examples of internationally led peace-building processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnia) and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (Macedonia). Through the Dayton and Ohrid Peace Agreements, respectively, the two countries have been targeted by the institutionalization of liberal norms that obviously fail to be internalized by the everyday people. Moreover, this thesis explores the limits of liberal norm exportation through the liberal international intervention in peace-building projects in Bosnia and Macedonia. Hence it will differentiate between the exportation of liberal norms by the so-called peace-builders in weak states and the actual internalization of these very norms by the everyday citizens in specific territories. Additionally, the research is primarily based on the interviews conducted with everyday citizens of the two countries and their personal opinions on the impact and role of the Dayton and Ohrid Peace Agreements in peace-building activities. |
