Title It was the human thing to do Mapping the helping hand across the ethnic divide: The role of kom??iluk in rescuing during the Bosnian Conflict
Summary The aim of the present thesis is to understand the specificities of the acts of rescuing during the Bosnian conflict by answering questions related to the identities and motivations of the people who have carried out such acts.I hypothesis that helpers during the conflict stayed indifferent toward imposed and politicized ethnicities that served as a tool for ethno-national mobilization. I will present through the interpretative framework that direct relations, extended contact through the neighborliness lines "komšiluk", and socialization with members of other ethnicities before the war were the key factors in helping acts.
