Resumo |
This paper discusses how international intervention to consolidate new democracies of post-conflict Bosnia and Kosovo interacts with the heritage of Islamic culture in both states. Within a study of specific examples in the context of civil-military relations, it is argued that the approach of authoritarian state-building, which establishes a democratic political culture by imposing international structures and standards, is posited on dismissing local capacities as unreliable, and undemocratic. The valorising of (Edemocracy<sup>1</sup>, (Epeace<sup>1</sup>, (Ejustice<sup>1</sup> and economic prosperity, creates a (Ecivilisational slope<sup>1</sup> that has potentially conflictual implications for Islam, political stability and a future for democracy in the region.<br /> |
