The return of the consuls: Islamic networks and foreign policy perspectives in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Abstract

This paper analyzes the emerging relations of power between various Islamic networks in Bosnia and Herzegovina and their foreign policy perspectives. It seeks to determine the most active Islamic networks and the most influential Islamic players that affect foreign policy choices and perspectives in Bosnia, and explore the main points of interaction and contestation between them. The paper argues that there is a new quality of the agency of Islamic networks in Bosnia and Herzegovina in which the direct humanitarian/missionary approach of Arab networks, characteristic of the immediate postwar period, is being replaced with a more nuanced and Turkish-dominated web of activities aimed at promoting a new vision of Bosnia and Herzegovina, of Islam, and of their position within a broader European framework.
