This chapter examines socioeconomic violence and injustice in war, providing compelling evidence of its relevance for post-conflict societies, from the perspective of people in Prijedor and Zenica who lived through the Bosnian War. The chapter provides a short background on the two cities, before analysing how people in Prijedor and Zenica experienced socioeconomic violence against the background of the war, which in Prijedor entailed an organised campaign of ethnic cleansing. It highlights the pervasiveness of dismissals, social exclusion and deprivation and the powerful impact it has on people's lives.

This appendix outlines and reflects on the methodological choices that shaped the research behind this book. It discusses positionality and research ethics, fieldwork in various parts of Bosnia, and the conduct and analysis of interviews.

Chapter 6 addresses the question of how conceptions of justice emerge among conflict-affected communities in the aftermath of socieoconomic violence. It focuses particularly on two aspects of this question, underlying conceptions of justice (the content or meaning of justice itself) and the strategies or measures proposed to redress injustice (the type of claims put forwards by communities). The chapter builds on the idea, presented earlier in the book, that there is an element of political contestation inherent in the practice of post-war justice processes. The cases of Prijedor and Zenica are once again compared to illustrate how experiences of injustice are translated into different types of justice claims, depending on memories of the past as well on the role of the international intervention in their specific context.
