Description: This monograph proposes criteria for validity and plausibility of counterfactual analyses. The wars in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s have shaped key international legal regimes and our thinking on conflict resolution. The book discusses three counterfactual hypotheses about how the conflicts could have been stopped earlier.
