A study on influential workings of scholars dealing with the Bosnian war. The narratives and discourses discussed and reproduced. Findings of alternative or unpopular narratives that encounter limitation when presenting their results shows how the field of conflict studies have ‘decided perception’ or even bias towards certain narratives. The field of research is not unaffected by the societal discourses especially from a western point of view, the reproducing of narratives or even relevance for research lays in if certain actors are involved or not. The study investigates the work of Campbell, Hansen and Kaldor. Then two articles of feminist security studies are analyzed of how their research was encountered by the field and the importance of widened narratives, to keep widening the understanding of the conflict. Especially when new tensions of conflict arise in the region.
