Interventionism in Bosnia and Herzegovina: From the Berlin congress to the Deyton agreement

In this paper interventionism is discussed through two comparative periods related to Bosnia and Herzegovina - the Austro-Hungarian occupation and war at the end of the 20th century - in the light of Balkanism as a leitmotif and justification for the Just War. Relevant statements of significant political actors from the mentioned periods are given and analyzed in the service of further evaluation of interventionism. The mechanism of soft interventionism is shown on the example of national identity management, while the third part summarizes the correlation between interventionism and the question of sovereignty.
