The aim of my dissertation is to analyse the role fo the European Union and the process of “Europeanization” in Bosnia-Herzegovina following the Dayton Agreement in 1995. The most important aspect of the “europeanization process” is the democratization reforms. However, The Western Balkans, and Bosnia-Herzegovina more particularly, (since it is my case study) have demonstrated serious democratic deficit. Here are the points I believe are absolutely crucial to appear in my dissertation if I want to get a 2:1:
1/ First to define the concept of Europeanization, the origin of the concept and its paradigm. Then to define the concept of democratization and how it is imbricated in the europeanization process (talking about the different democratization waves in Central and Eastern Europe for instance)
2/ Then to focus on the case of Bosnia-Herzegovina : its history, the role of its constitution, the ethnic divisions, the influence of international actors (turkey, russia)
3/ To analyze the role of the European Union in Bosnia-Herzegovina (How the European Union was divided during its intervention in Bosnia-Herzegovina and it didn’t have a clear cut line of policy)
This is my opinion but I believe you will find other relevant points throughout the research and the references ! I have added some resources that I believe give a good insight of my topic
