| Popis: | Most studies in territorial governance seem to disregard the importance of the link between territory and identity. Meanwhile, this link is connected to territorial conflicts based on identity differences. Evident from the example of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), identity-based territorial conflicts can generate identity-based territorial reconfiguration of the country. After the Bosnian War, B&H became a multilevel system consisting of two entities, ten cantons, and one district. Each entity and canton has its constitution while the district has a statute. The constitutional system rests on three constituent peoples who often act as decentralising and centralising forces. This chapter aims to explore the interplay between sub-national constitutionalism and ethno-territorial politics using B&H as an example. The chapter examines the association between territory and identity and investigates the link between sub-national constitutionalism and ethno-territorial delineation. |
