“…Likewise, Bosnian activists acknowledge to view nonelectoral mobilization as a step of the process for civic education and trust building across diverse groups in society (Kurtović 2018;Belyaeva 2017;Hasić and Karabegović 2018). They characterize this long-term shift in civic consciousness as their core goal, as opposed to short-term political change.…”

“…Here, ensuring continuous visibility of other identities has been essentially akin to political education in society, "changing the conversation around rights and participative democracy in Northern Ireland" (Representative of LGBTQ Advocacy Group, 2018).

“…These attempted to ethnicize, divide, and delegitimize both the protests and plenums (Mujkić 2014a), with Serb and Croat elites claiming it was orchestrated against their people and painting it as a solely Bosniak affair (Touquet 2015). Meanwhile, activists reported bids by Bosniak parties to co-opt the plenums for their own electoral advantage (Hasić and Karabegović 2018;Murtagh 2016). Others describe active intimidation by ethno-nationalist parties to stave off the action, including by Croat parties toward Croat activists in the mixed Croat-Bosniak city of Mostar where their participation in the movement tapered off as a result (Forde 2016).…”

Premised on elite accommodation, consociations provide little consideration for citizens’ input on institutional change. Likewise, valuable analyses of cross-community political participation in divided societies have emerged in recent years, yet whether the relationship between the grassroot and formal political process has broader consequences remains to be fully explored. The article examines the conditions in which nonelectoral participation takes place and the ways in which actors involved therein negotiate constraints for continuous cross-community mobilization. The structure of political systems and the nature of deep divisions in Northern Ireland and Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina invite a comparison of the consequences of nonelectoral political participation in these two illustrative case studies. The article concludes that while the formal political context shapes the likelihood of engagement on a cross-community basis, whether nonelectoral participation changes the structure of political decision-making depends on the willingness and ability of those involved to cooperate with formal institutional politics.

This article focuses on scrutinizing EU's norm-setting practices toward the Western Balkan (WB6) countries through identifying particular points of norm-acceleration and norm-resistance related to EU' foreign policy and enlargement objectives in developing "good neighborly relations" (GNR) regionally. Although the EU has repeatedly attempted to diffuse its foreign policy and enlargement-related norms to promote regional stability, development and cooperative relations across the WB6 countries, we posit that two policies are not always complimentary and that domestication of these norms in some countries still remains nationally contextualized and guided by specific dynamics. This article explores the factors that promote or mitigate the domestication of EU-induced norms in two selected countries, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia. By examining these two cases separately, we argue the current norm domestication patterns in both countries stave off these "coded" EU-induced normative perspectives on GNR, mainly because of their strong mixture with the "non-codified" enlargement criteria.
