DEMOKRATISERINGEN I BOSNIEN & HERCEGOVINA OCH KROATIEN -Bosnien & Hercegovinas och Kroatiens väg mot demokrati

Sammanfattning: Josip Broz, so called Tito, was the leader of the Communist Yugoslavia, after his death in 1980, economic problems began to arise as Tito had major debts that the country's population did not know about. Yugoslavia was split in 1992 as the war broke out and the countries became six different sub-republics and federations. One of the major reasons that the war broke out was the economic problem, as none of the Republics would take on the debt and instead chose to blame each other. In the post war period an agreement was reached, the 1995 Dayton Agreement, which was established in the purpose of rebuilding Bosnia, which has a multicultural population that includes Bosnians, Bosnian born Serbians and Bosnian born Croatians. The purpose of this essay was to study how Bosnia and Herzegovina’s and Croatia's road to democracy has developed after the Dayton agreement. The method of this essay has for the most part been a qualitative content analysis and descriptive analysis as the essay consists of critically reviewed texts. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia's road to democracy have developed differently in terms of approaches as well as the period of time. Bosnia and Herzegovina have been and still are cooperating with Sweden and other international organisations in seeking a sustainable state that strives for human rights and a sustainable economy. Croatia had an agreement with the European Union(EU) to meet the criteria required to become members. Croatia succeeded in joining the EU, today Bosnia is still cooperating with Sweden in developing the country in a slow ongoing progress.
