Divided and Contested Cities in Modern European History. The Example of Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina.

This is a study on divided and contested cities where ethnic differentiation is linked to nationalist claims that endanger the sovereignty of the state. The cities I discuss, in particular the city of Mostar (Bosnia-Herzegovina) in its modern history, were or are inhabited by people of different language or religion and all had to cope with the problems of 19th-21st century European and Mediterranean experience of nationalization. The focus is on the rivalry between different ethnic groups, which occurs within a nationalist ideological framework and deploys discourses and practices used in disputes about hegemony in the political and public space.
