Sažetak
Authors analyse complex security discourse and events at the end of 20th and beginning of 21st century, focusing on the transformation of (geo)political and security challenges to transition countries. Bosnia and Herzegovina is used as case study since the country – even after more than 20 years after the end of Bosnian war – is facing challenges specific for transition countries. As a micro-study within this Bosnian-Herzegovinian case study the authors use the example of Euro-Atlantic integration, that is defined as strategic foreign policy goal of the country. Strategic documents and laws regulating defence, security and foreign policy of the country determine both – NATO and EU integration – as strategic goals. We emphasize declarative nature of these strategic goals, since the geopolitical discourse and practice in Bosnia and Herzegovina do not show commitment of political representatives to the General Directions and Priorities of implementation of Foreign Policy of B&H and Law on Defence. Euro-Atlantic integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina faces a series of challenges, and in past few years the country has been in the middle of the strongest turmoil since the end of 1995. In this context authors offer an analysis of (geo)political challenges of Bosnia and Herzegovina at local, regional, and global level.
