In this dissertation, I examine how elite rhetoric about past inter-group violence affects citizens' post-conflict social and political attitudes. To do so, I conducted a survey experiment in the post-conflict country of Bosnia. In the first substantive chapter, I find that when individuals are reminded of the violence that was committed against their co-ethnics, they adopt negative views of out-group members. However, in the subsequent chapter, I find little evidence that this rhetoric induces individuals to ostracize co-ethnics who socially engage with out-groups. Combined, these findings indicate that (1) rhetoric about past violence makes reconciliation less likely by engendering negative attitudes toward out-groups, but (2) individuals who are open to inter-group engagement can still be effective conduits for positive inter-group contact. The next chapter considers how this kind of rhetoric impacts citizens' views of ethnic and multi-ethnic parties. I find that it reduces support for ethnic parties but not multi-ethnic ones. This suggests that recalling past violence generates negative attitudes toward the political actors who are the most clearly responsible for the original breakdown in peace: ethnic parties. Finally, in the last substantive chapter, I show that rhetoric about past violence does not significantly affect policy preferences. This provides reason for optimism in post-conflict societies, where elites may have little incentive to keep war memories alive because citizens' policy preferences are unlikely to respond in expected ways to such manipulation.
