An examination of the negative impact of clandestine political economics on postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina shows how black-market control enabled the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) & the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) to maintain power & continue to obstruct the constitutional order implemented by the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement. The financial revenues of criminal networks obtained from tax fraud, money laundering, & other illegal schemes have been diverted from smuggling weapons & providing paramilitary forces to preventing political reform. In 1997, attempts by the president of the ruling Republika Srpska Party to attack corruption in the government, especially customs service, were thwarted by a resilient clandestine political economy that supported Radovan Karadzic, the principal architect of the Bosnian-Serb ethnic cleansing program during the war. The seizure of Hercegovacka Banka is described as another example of the detrimental effects of a clandestine political economy. The future political outlook & prospects for reducing the impact of clandestine economies & bolstering the peace-building project are discussed. J. Lindroth

"Knowledge can create peaceful realities in addition to serving as an intellectual tool for peace-making. This is why pragmatist assessment of social science should avoid looking exclusively at the instrumental value of different paradigms. This book investigates the realities that positivism, anti-determinism, symbolic interactionism, social constructivism and critical theory create, and the tools they offer for a peace researcher and a peace practitioner. In essence, Paradigms of Peace looks at what social science can give to the humanity's search for peace and then offers an agenda for peace research. Using constructivist pragmatist metatheory to guide the assessment of the merits of different social science approaches to peace, this book suggests completely new ways of looking at the theory of peace and war. Difficult theoretical and philosophical constructs are presented but always supplemented with real-life examples, making it practical and relevant to both a research and policy-making level. Perfect for students and professionals of international relations, political science, peace and reconciliation studies, conflict and war studies and history."--Provided by publisher
