However, if international actors keep intervening in the political process, the advantages of consociationalism are turned upside down.

Reviews for Democracy by Decree - Prospects and Limits of Imposed Consociational Democracy in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Merdzanovic's study presents a most welcome new assessment: He is the first scholar to scrutinize how the system of imposed consociationalism worked, or rather, didn't work, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a must-read for anybody interested in the history of the Balkans in general and current Bosnian politics in particular.
