Abstract

The Bosnian War (1992–1995) was one of the most brutal conflicts in Europe since the end of World War II. Thirty‐four cease‐fires failed to produce peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina until the late American diplomat, Richard Holbrooke, brokered one that set the stage for a series of negotiations—starting in the Balkans and ending in Dayton, Ohio. The Dayton peace process finally terminated the Bosnian War. The interplay of military intervention by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and diplomacy by the United States was remarkable. This article highlights thirteen conflict resolution lessons or "Holbrookeisms" that can be learned from the Dayton peace process. Some aspects of Holbrooke's approach toward the peace process helped him to successfully mediate an end to the Bosnian War, while others contributed toward some of the existing cleavages in today's Bosnian society.

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to offer a theoretical model for how to link the study of "literary non-fiction" (the genres of travel writing and memoir) to the study of foreign policy. The paper begins by clarifying the question of "foreign policy influence" and presents three models for how studies can be constructed methodologically from a discourse analysis perspective. The paper then presents the genres of memoir and travel writing and discusses how these genres construct authority and knowledge through articulations of four epistemological and literary themes. The paper applies these to readings of Richard Holbrooke’s To End a War and Rebecca West’s Black Lamb and Grey Falcon with a particular emphasis on how the construction of gender intersects with constructions of "the Balkans" and "the West" to produce particular foreign policy proposal. The paper is based on material from my forthcoming book, Security as Practice: Discourse Analysis and the Bosnian War and can be obtain by contacting me at lha@ifs.ku.dk [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
