Introduction[i]
The illicit business side of armed conflict can involve clandestine exports to fund combatants, reselling looted goods on the black market, smuggling weapons and other supplies, sanctions evasion and embargo busting, theft and diversion of humanitarian aid, and covert “trading with the enemy.” How does such illicit business affect peace operations in conflict zones, and how do such peace operations, in turn, affect illicit business? I provide a preliminary answer in the case of the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia (one of the most brutal wars of the post-Cold War era and the site of one of the most ambitious and challenging peace operations ever attempted).[ii] Instead of reinforcing the common tendency simply to ignore or condemn the illicit business side of conflict and its relationship with peace operations, I stress the more ambiguous and double-edged nature of the issue.
Slavoj Zizec, February 10, 2014 by The Guardian Last week, cities were burning in Bosnia-Herzegovina. It all began in Tuzla, a city with a Muslim majority. The protests then spread to the capital, Sarajevo, and Zenica, but also Mostar, home to a large segment of the Croat population, and Banja Luka, capital of the Serb part of Bosnia. Thousands of enraged protesters occupied and set fire to government buildings. Although the situation then calmed down, an atmosphere of high tension still hangs in the air. "the recent vicissitudes of Muslim fundamentalism can be said to confirm Walter Benjamin's old insight that "every rise of fascism bears witness to a failed revolution""

By MICHAEL R. GORDON, NYT Published: October 30, 2012 SARAJEVO, Bosnia — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urged Bosnian leaders on Tuesday to work together and warned that their country would fall behind the rest of Europe if they did not make overdue reforms. Sarajevo was Mrs. Clinton’s first stop on a tour through the Balkan region with Catherine Ashton, the European Union’s high representative for foreign policy. The unusual joint trip was calculated to reinforce the point that there are steps Bosnia, Serbia and Kosovo need to take to resolve lingering disputes and advance their political and economic integration with Europe.
