ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to see how the post-Dayton implementation process initiates social change through the deconstruction of the established political order, namely the centralised nation state structure. It outlines "burning issues". Such "burning issues" relate to the process of refugee return, the significance of the electoral system, the function of humanitarian and developmental organisations and the role of political institutions. Successful minority returns in the region would not only serve to promote healing between peoples, but it would also allow the political institutions operate as they should, in this manner facilitating the generation of space and security. The process of return in Republika Srpska is obstructed and much slower than wished; however, certain success is being achieved. There are a number of provisions within the new election draft that were aimed to promote reconciliatory politics.
