This thesis explores this premise, and questions whether international policy debates regarding Bosnia's future should continue to be framed in these terms. In-depth exploratory interviews were employed to examine political attitudes within a sample of thirty-one middle class Bosnian citizens. Findings suggest that middle class Bosnians are forming new political attitudes. Perceptions of corruption among Bosnia's middle class may be emerging as a barrier to democratic consolidation. Since a politically engaged middle class has been a vital underpinning of previous democratic transitions, this potential trend of political alienation may be a warning sign for Bosnia's nascent democracy. | | Subject | : | Social sciences; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Political science; 0615:Political science | | Added Entry | : | K.
