Version] This paper aims to give insights into my research on media assistance and its effects on democratisation and state building processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnia). I try to analyse a process which lasts more than 15 years, and includes different aspects, from law making to establishing new media. I argue that most of the measures have been carried out in a state of imposition, in a semi-protectorate, that is Bosnia after the war. This period of post-war reconstruction in Bosnia is difficult to research for many reasons, starting from the obvious fact that processes are still going on, to the fact that different international players who were involved in the process over the years, hardly left archives available to the public to be analysed. What is left sometimes does not give a complete picture. In the paper different methods will be presented, that have been applied in order to overcome these difficulties. Thus, I try to give some recommendations for other researchers working on similar topics. 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:547-201300050$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://www.db-thueringen.de/receive/dbt_mods_00021699 5051 050 5051 070 5550 Bosnia and Herzegovina 5550 democracy 5550 democratisation 5550 media 5550 media assistance 5550 media development 5550 post conflict reconstruction 5550 state building
