Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina

• The constitution of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The constitution drafted at the Dayton accords to establish the central government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Srpska is heavily skewed against centralization. The national government's authority is limited to foreign trade, foreign affairs and currency. The Federation and the Republic have separate control over all other matters. The Presidency is split among Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian entities and must make decisions by consensus. The extreme decentralization of this national government appears to be a transition state.

• Yugoslavia, Rest in Peace

Yugoslavia is dead. The multinational federation, once consisting of the republics of Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia and Montenegro, is no more. The last chapter in the country's break-up was written recently when tiny Montenegro voted to secede from its union with Serbia. The result consigns the last vestiges of former Yugoslavia to history after the bloody wars of the 1990s had already led to Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Macedonia leaving the federation.

• Corporate Militaries and States: Actors, Interactions, and Reactions

Following the military forces of the United States and the United Kingdom, private military firms (PMFs) make up the third largest contingent in Iraq. These corporate warriors are large enough to launch invasions of small sovereign states and are often employed by whomever has sufficient funds to retain their services. Such entities create serious challenges for modern international law. In their article, Virginia Newell and Benedict Sheehy approach the PMF conundrum from a number of different perspectives so as to better elucidate the difficulties that states have had, are having, and will face in the future, as they strive to effectively utilize, and at the same time regulate, PMFs. The first part of the article concentrates on the definitional problems one encounters when attempting ...
