Did we get civic activism wrong? Understanding the waltz between constructive and aggressive civic tendencies in Bosnia –Herzegovina
This study contributes insights to the emerging literature at the nexus of peacebuilding, individual skills/attitudes and civic behaviour.

The approach distinguishes between passive citizens, constructive activists, aggressive activists and purely violent citizens. This study discovers that the bifurcation is between passive citizen...
