Abstract

This paper discusses the results of the recent elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina in October 2014. It does so by engaging with the results and what they mean for a number of selected policy areas in the country. The research is based on the statistics of the Electoral Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina and on the experience of Drs Keil and Perry, who have been working on Bosnia for many years, Dr Keil as an academic and Dr Perry as a practitioner, including for the OSCE and the International Law and Policy Group.
