Ramet (NTNU) and Albert Simkus (NTNU) -- About the editors and contributors.This volume is driven by the conviction that the key to the establishment of stable liberal democracy anywhere in the world and, in this case, in Kosovo lies in the completion of three interrelated tasks: first, the creation of effective political institutions, based on the principle of the separation of powers (including the independence of the judiciary); second, the promotion of the rule of law; and, third, the promotion of civic values, including tolerance or ethnic/religious/sexual minorities, trust, and respect for the harm principle. In fact, there are problems across all three measures, including with judicial independence, with the rule of law, and with civic values. On the last of these, research findings show that the citizens of Kosovo rank extremely low on trust of other citizens, low on engagement in social organizations, and tolerance of gays, lesbians, and atheists, but high on trust in the political institutions of their country and in pride of their newly independent state.Social valuesKosovo (Republic)HistorySocial changeKosovo (Republic)HistoryLiberalismKosovo (Republic)HistoryLawSocial aspectsKosovo (Republic)HistoryKosovo (Republic)HistoryKosovo (Republic)Politics and governmentKosovo (Republic)Ethnic relationsKosovo (Republic)Social conditionsHuman rights, Independence, Judiciary, Minorities, Rule of law, Social change, Social surveys, Trust.Social valuesHistory.Social changeHistory.LiberalismHistory.LawSocial aspectsHistory.303.3/72094971Ramet Sabrina P.1949-Simkus Albert A(Albert Andrew),Listhaug OlaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817518403321Civic and uncivic values in Kosovo3975166UNINA
