The Dilemma of Constitutional Reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina
This volume constitutes the first comprehensive examination of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s complex constitutional architecture, authored by a group of distinguished scholars primarily affiliated with leading public universities in the country. Grounded in a two-year research project and scholarly dialogue, it engages critically with the foundational constitutional principles, institutional configurations, and territorial arrangements underpinning the post-Dayton constitutional order. Emphasizing the ongoing challenges of democratic consolidation and European integration, the book offers nuanced perspectives on the interplay between individual and collective rights, federal and consociational models, and multi-level governance. It represents a vital contribution to contemporary constitutional discourse in post-conflict societies.
Secessionist Entities and International Law
This book examines secessionist entities that arose during and after the dissolution process of the USSR and considers them as legal subjects in their own right. By employing a novel and more innovative approach, the agency of these subjects, otherwise often ignored or disregarded, is taken into account. Drawing on the cases of the South Caucasus, the author suggests going beyond the binary concept of statehood and traditional notions of sovereignty. He advocates embracing an inclusive reading of international law, which enables to foster creative ambiguity vis-à-vis these entities as means of conflict transformation.
Austrian-Greek Encounters Over the Centuries
Austrian-Greek Encounters over the Centuries does not only look back to the past, but it also tries to develop perspectives for the future. It sheds new light on an incredible wealth and diversity of important links between Austria and Greece. Two highly visible expressions of this intense relationship, amongst many others, are the emblematic buildings of the Academy of Athens and the Austrian Parliament with the Athena Fountain in front. This is why these two buildings, which were both officially opened in 1883 and designed by the same architect, Theophil Hansen, are shown on the front cover of this book. They bear witness to the strong relationship between Austrian and Greek culture over the centuries and moreover testify to the continuing relevance of the Hellenic culture in the middle of Europe.
