Research
Stari Most (Old Bridge) Mostar
My research explores the relationship between ethno-territoriality and ethnic conflict in Bosnia, and provides a detailed analysis of international peacebuilding efforts following the war. In particular I focus on the dynamics of ethno-territoriality, conflict and post-war reconstruction in two ethnically-mixed Bosnian towns: Brčko and Mostar. Currently I am finishing up a manuscript which analyzes peacebuilding success and failure in these two towns since the end of the war.
I am also interested in place, politics and social change in post-war Bosnia. One particularly fascinating case which I am working on is the emergence and transformation of the Arizona Market, a massive black market which sprouted in Brčko following the war.
This research has been funded by fellowships from the United States Institute of Peace, International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX) and the Council for European Studies.
