在过去15年中，波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那(波黑)一直是重建国家主权和培育民主机构的技术实验室。波黑的冲突后干预理所当然地得到了政治理论家和国际关系学者的详细关注，他们探讨了国际干预机构和政策的局限性。然而，亚历克斯·杰弗里这本犀利而富有挑衅性的书却从一个不同的前提开始。它主张将重点放在波黑国家主权的颁布上，而不是审查机构或绘制限制图，因为波斯尼亚国家边界内外的一系列行为者一直在实践国家主权。这本书将国家作为一个过程来关注，认为波斯尼亚的主权最好被理解为一系列即兴创作，试图产生和复制一个稳定和统一的国家。通过这种方式，这本书通过阐明当代波黑主权的脆弱和偶然性质以及它植根于波斯尼亚人民的日常生活来推进国家理论。使用即兴创作作为理解政治和文化实践的社会特征的手段具有悠久的学术血统，从20世纪60年代的结构人类学到最近对后结构政治理论的重新研究。这本书建立在这项工作的基础上，以说明即兴比喻的象征和物质元素：这是一个同时唤起表演和机智的术语。就前者而言，即兴表演突出了国际机构试图执行一个连贯和稳定的波斯尼亚国家的具体方式：从重新命名街道到发明传统；从实施新的法律框架到重组国家服务机构。就后者而言，即兴创作提请注意在波黑利用社会、文化和经济资源来传达和抵制新出现的国家进程。这种论点提请注意南斯拉夫过去留下的遗产和欧洲未来在确认各种干预方式方面的前景，以及非国家行为者在颠覆和挪用新的国家做法以传达关于国家的替代观念方面的作用。
Over the past fifteen years Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has served as a laboratory of techniques to re-establish state sovereignty and foster democratic institutions. The post-conflict intervention in BiH has justifiably received detailed attention from political theorists and scholars of international relations who have explored the limitations to the institutions and policies of international intervention. Alex Jeffrey's incisive and provocative book, however, starts from a different premise. Rather than examining institutions or charting limitations, it argues for a focus on the enactment of state sovereignty in BiH as it has been practised by a range of actors located both within and beyond the borders of the Bosnian state. In focussing on the state as a process, the book argues that Bosnian sovereignty is best understood as a series of improvisations that have attempted to produce and reproduce a stable and unified state. In this way this book advances state theory through illuminating the fragile and contingent nature of sovereignty in contemporary BiH and its grounding in the everyday lives of the Bosnian people.Using improvisation as a means of understanding the social character of political and cultural practice has a long scholarly lineage, from structural anthropology in the 1960s through to its more recent reworking in post-structural political theory. This book builds upon this work to illustrate the symbolic and material elements of the improvisation metaphor: it is a term that simultaneously evokes performance and resourcefulness. In terms of the former, improvisation highlights the situated and embodied ways in which international agencies have attempted to perform a coherent and stable Bosnian state: from re-naming streets to inventing traditions; from implementing new legal frameworks to re-organizing state services. In terms of the latter, improvisation draws attention to the enrolment of social, cultural and economic resources in conveying and resisting nascent state processes in BiH. Such an argument draws attention to the legacy of Yugoslav pasts and the promise of European futures in validating various styles of intervention, and to the role of non-state agents in subverting and appropriating new state practices in order to convey alternative ideas of the state.
