Abstract	:	The main forces shaping Bosnian domestic politics today are the Office of High Representative (OHR), the national level political parties, the sub-national actors, and the Bosnian people themselves. The question this thesis seeks to answer is where, to what extent and why has Europeanization succeeded or failed on Bosnia's path towards EU membership? To do this we will evaluate the influence Europeanization has had on the domestic decision making process and the institutional structures within the four levels of governance mentioned above. The following examination of the domestic actors in Bosnia through the lens of Europeanization is done in an attempt to highlight the success and failures of each individual group. I argue that two of these main actors, the Office of High Representative and the nationalistic political parties, have stifled the process of Europeanization. However, progress has been made by the sub-national actors in initiating the process of Europeanization and that the conditions exist in which a positive discourse could have a substantial impact influencing the citizens of Bosnia.
