Learning objectives
Predmet izučava složene političke odnose i procese u podijeljenom i konfliktnom društvu Bosne i Hercegovine. U okviru ovog predmeta analiziraju se osnovne linije društvenih rascjepa u Bosni i Hercegovini, prije svega njihov kulturno-istorijski kontekst. Riječ je o primarno vjerskom i nacionalnom segmentiranju. Ove podjele oblikuju partijski sistem, a posljedično tome i najvažnije političke odnose, procese i institucije. Predmet objašnjava političke odnose i procese, kao i politički sistem Bosne i Hercegovine, od srednjovjekovne države Bosne do savremene dejtonske Bosne i Hercegovine. Poseban fokus je na odnosima, procesima i političko-sistemskim rješenjima nastalim u protekla dva vijeka. Na primjeru Bosne i Hercegovine, predmet otvara brojna aktuelna naučna i društvena pitanja vezana za podijeljena i konfliktna društva, prije svega mogućnosti njihovog opstanka, njihove liberalizacije i demokratizacije, i uopšteno njihove političke specifičnosti.
Learning outcomes
Studentima je omogućeno da kroz aktivno slušanje nastave usvoje odgovarajuće znanje o političkim odnosima i procesima u Bosni i Hercegovini kao primjeru savremenog podijeljenog društva. Očekuje se da studenti po završetku slušanja i polaganja ovog predmeta steknu znanje neophodno za dalje istraživanje Bosne i Hercegovine i njoj sličnih društava.

Evaluation and grading
Checking knowledge and determining how active students are in class is done throughout the semester. Knowledge is checked using two colloquia, and students' activity is expressed through writing seminar papers, attending classes regularly, participating in debates, preparing presentations and through other forms of creative participation in the teaching process. In this way, students fulfill the pre-examination requirements through which they can acquire 50 points (two colloquiums of 20 points each, a seminar paper of 5 points and regular and active attendance of classes 5 points). The final exam is conducted orally and it tests knowledge of the entire material, and carries a maximum of 50 points. The final grade is calculated by adding the points from the pre-examination requirements and the points from the exam
