Webinar Content

1. Introduction of the Speaker: 00:00- 02:18
2. Presentation: 02:19 – 35:12
3. Questions and Answers: 35:12 – 56:19

 

Webinar Summary

Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia both are governed under post-conflict power-sharing agreements – the Dayton (1995) and Ohrid (2001) Agreements and have the EU membership perspective. While the natures of the conflicts, social distance of the ethnic divide, and state structures differ significantly, the unaccountability of political power has led to repeated popular mobilizations in both countries.

The webinar will discuss these two cases and the lessons learned for civilian-based, nonviolent conflict strategies in these countries.
