Abstract: This essay will provide an introductory discussion of the historiography of the
Bosnian genocide of 1992–1995 in the works of foreign scholars. The historiography is too
large for this discussion to be exhaustive. We have attempted here to provide the principal
categories of relevant works while citing the most important examples of them, before dis-
cussing the historiographical deficiencies and the tasks awaiting future scholars of the geno-
cide. The reason for the dearth of monographs on the Bosnian genocide is that the subject
is highly controversial, and any scholar who seriously studies it and expresses an opinion
is likely to create enemies for themselves. There is a tendency of scholars to see the war in
postmodernist terms, in terms of Serb, Croat and Bosniak “narratives”; as opposed to ob-
jective truth, which discourages taking the subject intellectually seriously. Furthermore, the
prevailing ideology and discourse stemming from the international administration is one of
reconciliation and putting the past behind us. So there is a disincentive to study the genocide
in depth; a preference for studying more liberal feel-good themes related to reconciliation,
memory, transitional justice and post-war reconstruction. The Bosnian genocide therefore
awaits a new generation of foreign scholars to take it seriously as a subject and explore it in
detail.

the Bosnian genocide of 1992–1995 in the works of foreign scholars. The
historiography is too large for this discussion to be exhaustive; those seeking
more extensive surveys may consult Sabrina Petra Ramet, Thinking about

the principal categories of relevant works while citing the most important ex-
amples of them, before discussing the historiographical deficiencies and the
tasks awaiting future scholars of the genocide.
The Bosnian genocide of 1992–1995 has had a tremendous intellectual
and political impact in the world outside the former Yugoslavia. More than
any other political or historical event, it has been the cause of the explo-
sion in the intellectual interest in genocide as an object of study. This went
along with the adoption of a broader understanding of genocide than had
previously existed. Previously, the paradigm of genocide was the Holocaust:
there was a widespread perception that genocide was something that oc-
curred extremely rarely – perhaps only a couple of times in world history
(the Holocaust, the Armenian genocide). The Bosnian genocide – particularly
after the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)
in 2001 found conclusively that genocide occurred at Srebrenica in 1995 –
changed the paradigm of genocide away from an industrialised total genocide
on the Holocaust model, to something potentially smaller and more frequent.
Politically, it catalysed the rise of liberal interventionism: the doctrine that
military intervention should be necessary to prevent and halt genocide and
crimes against humanity. This found expression in 2005 with the adoption
of the Responsibility to protect doctrine by the World Congress of the UN; it
influenced also the Kosovo intervention in 1999 and the Libya intervention
in 2011. Nevertheless, the Bosnian genocide remains poorly researched by
foreign scholars.
The first reason for the dearth of high-quality research on the Bosnian
genocide is the legacy of the older generation of former-Yugoslav experts.
The outbreak of the war in the former Yugoslavia in 1991 found Yugoslav
scholars mentally unprepared, and often reluctant to face what was happen-
ing. They had largely been sympathetic to Titoist Yugoslavia and had dif-
ficulty acknowledging the break-up. Some were actively sympathetic to the
regime in Belgrade. This was a disincentive to study the genocide seriously.
One example of a study of the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina by members of the
older generation of scholars is Steven L. Burg and Paul Shoup, The War in
Bosnia-Herzegovina: Ethnic Conflict and International Intervention by Burg,
which provides a narrative account of the conflict but downplays its genocidal
character.3 In fact, some of the books written while the war was ongoing were
written more from a standpoint of sympathy with the perpetrators: e.g. Susan

 Marko Atilla Hoare: The historiography of the Bosnian genocide of 1992-1995 in the work of foreign scholars

Woodward’s Balkan Tragedy – Chaos and Dissolution after the Cold War.4 As
the present author wrote in 1996, Woodward’s “seemingly scholarly style and
pretence of objectivity mask effective acquiescence in Serbian war aims and
a dislike of Germany, Austria and Croatia that borders on hatred”.5 Among the
generation of scholars who were coming of age in the 1990s, there was also a
widespread reluctance to confront what was happening. One example of this
was Dejan Jovic’s study of the break-up of Yugoslavia: Yugoslavia, a State
that Withered Away,6 originally published in Croatian as Jugoslavija – država
koja je odumrla: Uspon, kriza i pad Kardeljeve Jugoslavije (1974–1990).7
This presented the break-up in terms of the decay of the central Yugoslav state
authority, and the war in Croatia and BiH as the work of private armies arising
in the power vacuum. It was wholly erroneous.
Meanwhile, journalists rushed to fill the vacuum created by the absence
of a scholarly response to the war and break-up. The best book on the break
up and the war in BiH is still the work of two investigative journalists, Laura
Silber and Allan Little, originally published as The Death of Yugoslavia8 and
subsequently revised and republished as Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation.9
Using extensive primary research in the form of interviews with the key par-
ticipants, including Milosevic, Tudjman and some of the international states-
men, it has never been rivalled by any academic study. Another excellent work
of investigative journalism is Seada Vranic, Breaking the wall of silence: The
voices of raped Bosnia,10 examining the systematic sexual violence of the
war through extensive interviews with victims. There have also been some
good journalistic accounts of the atrocities in BiH, in particular Witness to
Genocide: First Inside Account of the Horrors of Ethnic Cleansing in Bosnia
by Roy Gutman11 and Seasons in Hell: Slaughter and Betrayal in Bosnia
by Ed Vulliamy.12 These provide a good flavour of the genocide but cannot
explain the historical background. Mention should be made of two serious
works of investigative journalism on the Srebrenica massacre, Jan Willem
Honig and Norbert Both, Srebrenica: Record of a war-crime,13 and David

Rohde, Endgame – The Betrayal of Srebrenica,14 though the first is marred by

an unwillingness seriously to critically evaluate the role of the UN in the mas-
sacre. Finally, a very well researched early study of the local media’s contri-
bution to the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina was provided by Mark Thompson,
Forging War: The media in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina.15 Generally,
however, the wealth of journalistic accounts plus eyewitness accounts by par-
ticipants have overshadowed the scholarly literature. There were unfortunate
cases of books on the region and the break-up by journalists that have peddled
ethnic stereotypes and inaccurate clichés about them; particularly notorious
in this regard were Misha Glenny’s The Fall of Yugoslavia: The Third Balkan
War16 and Robert D. Kaplan’s Balkan Ghosts: A Journey through History.17
Stereotypes and clichés reproduced by journalists have crept into academic
discourse and proven remarkably persistent.
A third contribution to the literature on the Bosnian genocide has been
made by genocide scholars. Genocide studies experienced a proper emer-
gence and explosion in the first decade of the twentieth century, largely due
to the events in Bosnia and Rwanda. Consequently, Bosnia usually formed a
case study in these general books about genocide. Notable in particular are
Michael Mann, The Dark Side of Democracy: Explaining Ethnic Cleansing;18
Eric D. Weitz, A Century of Genocide: Utopias of Race and Nation;19 Norman
Naimark, Fires of Hatred: Ethnic Cleansing in Twentieth-Century Europe;20
Adam Jones, Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction;21 Martin Shaw, What
Is Genocide?;22 Jacques Semelin, Purify and Destroy: The Political Uses of
Massacres and Genocide;23 and others. These books were notable for the
disagreements between scholars over whether what happened in Bosnia actu-
ally constituted genocide or not, with perhaps the majority concluding that it
had.24 The best one-chapter treatment of the Bosnian genocide was probably
Weitz’s.25 However, in general the books suffered from the fact that there
simply were not enough articles and monographs on the genocide to produce

a good general study, and some of the authors were trying to make too sweep-
ing conclusions on the basis of insufficient research, especially Mann.
The rise of international justice in the form of the international or mixed
tribunal, pioneered by the ICTY, trigged an explosion of interest in academic
studies of the phenomenon, producing some excellent works, in particular by
Victor Peskin, International Justice in Rwanda and the Balkans: Virtual Trials
and the Struggle for State Cooperation,26 and Gary Bass, Stay the Hand of
Vengeance: The Politics of War Crimes Tribunals.27 Several excellent works
have been produced related to the intervention of foreign powers in the wars
of Yugoslav succession, in particular Brendan Simms, Unfinest Hour: Britain
and the Destruction of Bosnia;28 Takis Michas, Unholy Alliance: Greece
and Milosevic’s Serbia;29 Michael Libal, Limits of Persuasion: Germany
and the Yugoslav Crisis, 1991–199230 (though this focuses on the prelude of
the war in Croatia rather than the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina specifically);
and James Headley, Russia and the Balkans: Foreign Policy from Yeltsin to
Putin.31 Special mention must go to the best general study of the interna-
tional background to the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina, Josip Glaurdic, The
Hour of Europe: Western Powers and the Breakup of Yugoslavia,32 though
this also does not deal with the violence in Bosnia-Hercegovina itself. Finally,
Samantha Power, A Problem from Hell: America in the Age of Genocide33 is a
highly influential work with two chapters on the Bosnian genocide.
The genocide in Bosnia-Hercegovina has inspired several general histories
of the country that touch upon it, including Noel Malcolm, Bosnia: A Short
History;34 Robert J. Donia and John V. A. Fine, Bosnia and Herzegovina:
A tradition betrayed35 and Marko Attila Hoare, The History of Bosnia-
Hercegovina: From the Middle Ages to the Present Day.36 Other scholars spe-
cialising in Bosnia-Hercegovina deal with the aftermath of the war. Notable
works include Courting Democracy in Bosnia and Herzegovina37 and Lara

There are also several serious works on the planning and leadership of the
genocide, in particular James Gow, The Serbian Project and its Adversaries:
A Strategy of War Crimes;45 and Norman Cigar and Ian Williams, Indictment
at the Hague: The Milosevic Regime and Crimes of the Balkan Wars.46 Others
have approached the topic through studying the life of Slobodan Milosevic
as the leading individual culprit behind the war, above all Adam Lebor,
Milosevic: A biography;47 Louis Sell, Slobodan Milosevic and the destruction
of Yugoslavia;48 and Slavoljub Djukic, On, ona i mi;49 there is also now a bi-
ography of Radovan Karadzic: Robert J. Donia, Radovan Karadzic: Architect
of the Bosnian Genocide.50 Others provide crucial background on the ideo-
logical causes of the war by studying its origins in Serb-nationalist ideology,
in particular Michael Sells, The Bridge Betrayed: Religion and Genocide in
Bosnia,51 while Philip J. Cohen, Serbia’s Secret War52 provides a unique in-
sight into the nationalist ideology that legitimised the genocide. A reasonable
early attempt to link the nationalist ideological background with the grubby
criminal practice was made by Tim Judah in The Serbs: Myth, History and
the Destruction of Yugoslavia.53 Works on the break-up of Yugoslavia also

throw light on the origins of the genocide, in particular Branka Magas, The
Destruction of Yugoslavia: Tracking the break-up, 1980–199254 and Sabrina
Petra Ramet, The Disintegration Of Yugoslavia From The Death Of Tito To
The Fall Of Milosevic,55 though the insights these books provide into the form
the genocide took Bosnia, as opposed to the wider Yugoslav context in which
the genocide occurred, are limited. Some work has been done on the military
aspects of the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina, in particular Marko Attila Hoare,
How Bosnia Armed56 and Branka Magas and Ivo Zanic (eds), The War in
Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina 1991–1995,57 though this aspect remains
understudied.
However, the remarkable fact is the tiny number of actual academic
monographs on the actual Bosnian genocide on the ground itself by foreign
scholars. Standing out are Norman Cigar, Genocide in Bosnia: The Policy of
‘Ethnic Cleansing’58 – now nearly 25 years old, and Cathie Carmichael, Ethnic
cleansing in the Balkans: Nationalism and the Destruction of Tradition59 –
17 years old. These are both decent introductions to the study, but we are
awaiting more in-depth analyses that will fully exploit all the documentation
thrown up by the ICTY trials. The two most serious academic monographs
about the Bosnian genocide in the English language are Edina Becirevic,
Genocide the Drina River60 and Emir Suljagic, Ethnic Cleansing: Politics,
Policy, Violence: Serb Ethnic Cleansing Campaign in Former Yugoslavia.61

Conclusion
The reason for the dearth of monographs on the Bosnian genocide is that the subject is highly
controversial, and any scholar who seriously studies it and expresses an opinion is likely to
create enemies for themselves. There is a tendency of scholars to see the war in postmodern-
ist terms, in terms of Serb, Croat and Bosniak “narratives”; as opposed to objective truth,
which discourages taking the subject intellectually seriously. Furthermore, the prevailing
ideology and discourse stemming from the international administration is one of reconcilia-
tion and putting the past behind us. So there is a disincentive to study the genocide in depth;

new generation of foreign scholars to take it seriously as a subject and explore it in detail.

Historiografija genocida u Bosni i Hercegovini

1992–1995. u radovima stranih naučnika

Zaključak
Razlog postojanja oskudnog broja monografija o genocidu u Bosni i Hercegovini je izrazita
kontroverznost ove teme, a svaki učenjak koji je ozbiljno prouči ovu temu i izrazi svoje mi-
šljenje, vjerovatno će stvoriti sebi neprijatelje. Postoji tendencija istraživača da rat gledaju
u postmodernističkim uslovima, u smislu srpskih, hrvatskih i bošnjačkih “narativa”, nauštrb
objektivnoj istini, čime se obeshrabruje ozbiljno shvatanje ove teme. Nadalje, prevladavajuća
ideologija i diskurs koji proizlaze iz međunarodne administracije su usmjereni ka pomirenju i
ostavljanju prošlosti iza nas. Dakle, postoji destimulacija za dubinsko proučavanje genocida
i sklonost ka proučavanju liberalnijih, lagodnijih tema koje se odnose na pomirenje, sjećanje,
tranzicijsku pravdu i poslijeratnu obnovu. Genocid u Bosni i Hercegovini stoga čeka na neku
novu generaciju stranih istraživača koji će ga shvatiti ozbiljno kao temu i detaljno ga istražiti.
