Publication

This publication provides information on several projects from the fields of foreign aid, human rights, reconciliation and civil society in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina that were supported by the United States Institute of Peace. The paper's chapters address above all the issue of understanding some of the basic elements and the complexity of rebuilding war-ravaged societies and reconstructing a civic order. The paper stresses the importance of early and substantial involvement of Bosnians in the conception, design and implementation of reconciliation and reconstruction.
