But many Balkans watchers were surprised war in Kosovo did not happen sooner. In Civil Resistance in Kosovo, Howard Clark argues that war had been avoided previously because of the self-restraint exercised by the Kosovo Albanians and their policy of nonviolence. Prior to the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA)'s taking up of arms, Kosovo Albanians had had a long history of civil resistance in the face of Serbian ultra-nationalism. They were committed to a strategy of nonviolent resistance even as they were harassed by Serbian police, vilified in racial terms, and excluded from jobs, education and government benefits. Excluded from the 1995 Dayton Agreement, Kosovo became a breeding ground for frustration and ethnic strife, ultimately leading to war and the NATO bombings. The author traces the historical evolution of the Kosovo Albanians' struggle, from peaceful demonstrations to the KLA backlash, covering the 1980's to the present day. In assessing the achievements and limitations of nonviolence, Clark explains why the policy was ultimately abandoned and how it could have been made more effective. Importantly, this book draws on the lessons of Kosovo to provide suggestions for future peace-building. 606 $aAlbanians$zSerbia and Montenegro$zKosovo (Serbia)$xHistory 606 $aPassive resistance$zSerbia and Montenegro$zKosovo (Serbia) 606 $aKosovo War, 1998-1999 607 $aKosovo (Republic)$xHistory$y1980-2008 615 0$aAlbanians$xHistory. 615 0$aPassive resistance 615 0$aKosovo War, 1998-1999. 676 $a949.71 700 $aClark$b Howard$01139912 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780200903321 996 $aCivil resistance in Kosovo$93802437 997 $aUNINA
