Political Anomie, Civil War, Radical Changes.Abstract
The article critically analyzes the concept of political anomie and examines how such social conditions are influenced by radical changes at the national level, as well as the impact of international dynamics on its emergence. Case study methodology
was employed to research the correlation between political anomie and the genesis of armed civil conflict. Using Bosnia-Herzegovina as a case study, empirical evidence was identified that demonstrates how civil war can be, in some cases, determined by political anomie.
