Sommario/riassunto

This book examines international engagement with Kosovo since NATO's intervention in 1999, and looks at the three distinct phases of



Kosovo's development; intervention, statebuilding and independence.Kosovo remains a case study of central importance in international relations, illustrative of key political trends in the post-Cold War era. During each phase, international policy towards Kosovo has challenged prevailing international norms and pushed the boundaries of conventional wisdom.
