This research, which used a sample of 407 members of both Bosniak and Serb nationality in Sarajevo and Banja Luka, analyzes the structure and content of ethnic stereotypes of Bosnia and Herzegovina's youth. The results reveal significant negative stereotypes of Bosniak and Serb youth toward one another, but also show conspicuous similarities regarding their stereotypes toward other ethnic groups. The concluding remarks set forth theoretical and pragmatic consequences of the results obtained. It can be concluded that people are clearly divided into groups based on the ethnicity criterion. This, substantiated by the earlier history of conflict, creates perceptions and assessments saturated by negative attributes, and can lead to potential conflicts in future. The research suggests that possible solution lies in a conflict resolution education, greater interethnic communication.

Abstract: Conflict is an integral part and has a wide variety of types in all aspects of people's lives. This is the responsibility of education because of the potential it possesses to prevent conflicts. Therefore the education of conflict resolution is a suitable idea to resolve conflict issues. The Medina constitution is a monumental work in the history of human life that becomes the spirit of how to create a harmonious life amid diversity. The interpretational method of Medina Constitution is legal hermeneutics which has three meaning areas such as text, context, and contextualization of text meaning to the context. The underlying theory in this research is the theory of conflict resolution education which has three areas to handle conflicts, such as social contradiction changes with structural approaches, improvement of relationship behavior and social interaction, and encouragement of attitude change. The Medina Constitution has fundamental values in social life, namely: togetherness, unity, freedom, religious tolerance, mutual help, justice, equality of rights and obligations, social honor, national defense and peace, piety, amar ma'ruf nahi munkar, and leadership. The contextualization of principles in the Medina charter on conflict resolution education can be discovered relevantly in the following three aspects; structural, behavioral improvement, and attitudinal changes in social relations.الملخص: الصراع هو جزء لا يتجزأ من حياة الإنسان ويتخذ أشكالا مختلفة وهو يحدث في جميع جوانب حياة الناس. هذه هي مسؤولية للتربية ، لأن للتربية القدرة على منع النزاعات ، لذا فإن التثقيف في مجال حل النزاعات هو الفكرة الصحيحة لمعالجة مشكلة الصراع هذه. أما بالنسبة للروح المأخوذة من ميثاق المدينة التي  هي عملاً ضاخما في تاريخ الحياة البشرية حول كيفية خلق حياة متناغمة في تنوع الاجتماعية . إن طريقة تفسير ميثاق المدينة هي التأويل القانوني الذي له ثلاثة جوانب من المعنى ، أي النص ، السياق ، و سياق معنى النص. النظرية الأساس لتطوير هذا البحث هي نظرية تربية حل النزاعات التي لها ثلاثة مجالات للتعامل مع الصراع ، وهي: التغيرات في التناقضات الاجتماعية مع المقاربات الهيكلية ، تحسين سلوك العلاقة والتفاعل الاجتماعي ، وتشجيع التغييرات في المواقف. يمتلك ميثاق المدينة مبادئ في الحياة الاجتماعية ، وهي: التعاون والوحدة والحرية والتسامح الديني ومساعدة الضعفاء والعدالة والمساواة في الحقوق والواجبات والاحترام الاجتماعي والدفاع عن الدولة والسلام والتقوى والامر بالمأروف ونهي عن المنكر  والقيادة. أما فيما يتعلق بوضع المبادئ في ميثاق المدينة في مجال حل النزاعات ، فيمكن إيجازها في ثلاثة جوانب ، هي: المنهج الهيكلي ، السلوكي ، والتغيرات في المواقف في العلاقات الاجتماعية.Abstrak: Konflik merupakan bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dalam kehidupan manusia dan mengambil bentuk yang beraneka rupa dan hampir menyeluruh di segala aspek kehidupan masyarakat. Hal ini merupakan tanggung jawab pendidikan, karena pendidikan memiliki potensi untuk mencegah terjadinya konflik, maka pendidikan resolusi konflik merupakan gagasan yang tepat untuk menyikapi persoalan konflik ini. Adapun ruhnya diambil dari Kosntitusi Madinah yang merupakan karya monumental dalam sejarah kehidupan manusia tentang bagaimana menciptakan kehidupan yang harmonis di tengah keberagaman. Metode penafsiran Konstitusi Madinah adalah legal hermeneutika yang memiliki tiga wilayah pemaknaan, yaitu teks, konteks, dan kontekstualisasi dari makna teks terhadap konteks. Teori yang menjadi dasar pengembangan penelitian ini adalah teori pendidikan resolusi konflik yang mempunyai tiga wilayah penanganan konflik, yaitu perubahan kontradiksi sosial dengan pendekatan struktur, memperbaiki perilaku hubungan dan interaksi sosial, dan mendorong perubahan sikap. Konstitusi Madinah memiliki nilai-nilai mendasar dalam kehidupan sosial, yaitu kebersamaan, persatuan, kebebasan, toleransi beragama, tolong menolong dan membantu yang lemah, keadilan, persamaan hak dan kewajiban, hormoni sosial, bela negara dan perdamaian, kesalehan, amar ma’ruf nahi munkar, dan kepemimpinan. Adapun kontekstualisasi prinsip-prinsip dalam piagam Madinah dalam pendidikan resolusi konflik dapat ditemukan relevansinya dalam tiga aspek, yaitu struktural, perbaikan perilaku, dan perubahan sikap dalam hubungan sosial.

This paper deals with the architecture of the most prominent architect in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Austro-Hungarian time, Josip Vancaš, and two of his most appreciated designs developed for Banja Luka: Landesbank branch office and villa Husedžinović. They both belong to what Vancaš promoted to be "Bosnian style" in architecture, while the latter one is widely accepted as one of his best single-family housing designs. The paper foremost shows Vancaš's biography and a short overview of his professional development and then focuses on the discussion of his contribution to the so-called Bosnian style in architecture, and its reflections to mentioned designs in Banja Luka, originally contributing to this still active question in the history of architecture.The paper gives data on the original status of the buildings, as well as their development throughout history, with reflections to contemporary time. The concluding discussion reviews Vancaš's contribution to architecture in the period of 1878-1918, as well as the promotion of new thoughts outside the usual work of a typical architect.

The diversity of tribes, religions, races, groups, and cultural expressions in various dimensions make Indonesia one of the most vibrant cultures in the world. However, it cannot be denied, that diversity has the potential to trigger social conflicts that can threaten the unity and unity of the nation and state and disrupt a safe and peaceful shared life. The long history of the Indonesian journey proves that social conflicts often occur due to the differences in ethnic groups, religious, racial background, and inter-group (SARA). Therefore, conflict resolution efforts are a necessity for Indonesia to realize a safe and peaceful shared life. This study was aimed to study the conflict resolution based on the history of the Indonesian Military Ordinariate in mitigating and resolving conflict. In general, there are two approaches to conflict resolution, namely intervention in security or stability and humanitarian intervention. Security interventions (stability) usually use military power to resolve conflicts, whereas humanitarian intervention integrates the strength of culture and local wisdom as a basis for resolving conflicts. Humanitarian intervention in resolving conflicts usually results in sustainable, peaceful reconciliation. A peace that occurs between the parties to the conflict is not due to compulsion under military pressure or State power but is born from the awareness of the parties to create mutually reconciling society.

This paper discusses the importance of archival material and especially its publication for historical research. In fact, starting from the Middle Ages through to the modern age, historical research and historical achievements of science to a large extent depended on the archive material (written historical sources). Historical sources can be provided through archival fonds and collections, or through the publication of archival material in the conference documents. The process of provision of historical sources is long and complex, involves a wide range of professional, organizational and technical actions and procedures, since the creation of archives to the placing of the same in the user purposes. An important basis for historical research make published archive documents, including certain technical and material basis. In the archives in Bosnia and Herzegovina this important issue has always been given attention in accordance with human and material capacities of the same, which were mostly very poor. A little more attention paid to this area of work is in the Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in regional archives in Tuzla, Banja Luka, Sarajevo and Mostar, which resulted in the publication of several dozen collections of documents. Publishing of archival documents (historical sources) created the important research and scientific base, which has resulted in a significant historical synthesis relating to important issues and topics from the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Recent unrest and the 2014 elections have corroborated the impression of Bosnia as a failing state, one that is constantly being undermined by the three-way impasse between constituent ethnic groups of Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs. Major history museums in Bosnia, however, provide a more complex picture. This paper analyzes museums and exhibitions on twentieth-century history in Sarajevo, Banja Luka, and Jajce, with regard to their narrative strategies, their aesthetic appearance, and the commemorative practices in their respective locations. From this perspective, the use of history in building group identity in Bosnia is far from coherent. Although museums are one means to assert firmly entrenched national identities both old and new, they compete at the same time with nostalgic commemorations of socialist Yugoslavia and with equally nostalgic references to the Austrian occupation. Various civic groups struggle to assert their visions of belonging, mostly with rather modest financial means. Based on these findings, this paper will explore not only the underlying assumptions of what history and, in particular, museums are all about, but also how visions of the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina are inscribed in these uses of history – if indeed they are.

This chapter reviews the broader principles in the international intellectual property (IP) system that fulfil an indirect integration or conflict resolution function, with a focus on those emanating from and applicable to the Trade Related Aspects of International Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement. In focusing on Articles 7 and 8 of TRIPS, the chapter builds on prior analysis about the role of these provisions in establishing an agreed, common object and purpose of the principal global IP treaty with relevance beyond TRIPS. In light of the origins and negotiation history of Articles 7 and 8 TRIPS, the chapter shows how these provisions can be applied to integrate ‘external’ objectives and interests via interpretation and implementation. Next, this chapter reviews their very poor record of application in the first twenty years of World Trade Organisation (WTO) dispute settlement. It concludes with suggestions for an appropriate recognition of external norms, objectives, and interests via Articles 7 and 8.
