| Summary/Abstract |
How do groups mobilise around non-ethnic issues in deeply divided societies and cities? This article seeks to answer this question by offering a close reading of one particular exemplary episode in the recent history of post-conflict Bosnia & Herzegovina: the 2008 Sarajevo protests. Sarajevans took to the streets to demand more security in the wake of the murder of a young boy on a tram. The article analyses the framings used by the mobilising social movements in depth, exploring in detail the connections with the local cultural environment, as well as the demobilising authorities’ counter-frames.
