It examines the debates about the nature and justification of intervention in the affairs of sovereign states. It also considers the impact of the crisis on NATO and on relations between western states and Russia both during and since Kosovo. Well-known 'facts' are critically assessed and challenged. The authors argue, for example, that the NATO attacks on Serbia were not a 'war', nor did the crisis directly lead to moves to endow the European Union with its own military dimension. The authors also look at key issues and debates that have, so far, often been neglected. They consider the difficulties of entrenching 'western' norms and values in areas where ethnic conceptions of national identity are dominant. They also place the Kosovo crisis in the context of the long-term evolution of a transatlantic 'community of values' between Europe and North America.National securityEuropeOperation Allied Force, 1999Kosovo (Republic)Foreign relationsEuropean Union countriesKosovo (Republic)History1980-natosecuritykosovobalkansEuropean UnionRussiaNational securityOperation Allied Force, 1999.949.7103Latawski Paul C(Paul Chester),1954-966186Smith Martin A.1965-UkMaJRUBOOK996552353303316The Kosovo crisis and the evolution of a post-Cold War European security2192823UNISA
