Elton Skendaj's investigation into Kosovo, based on national survey data, interviews, and focus groups conducted over ten months of fieldwork, leads to some surprising answers. Creating Kosovo highlights efforts to build the police force, the central government, courts, and a customs service. Skendaj finds that central administration and the courts, which had been developed under local authority, succumbed to cronyism and corruption, challenging the premise that local "ownership" leads to more effective state bureaucracies. The police force and customs service, directly managed by international actors, were held to a meritocratic standard, fulfilling their missions and winning public respect. On the other hand, local participation and contestation supported democratic institutions. When international actors supported the demobilization of popular movements, they undermined the ability of the public to hold elected officials accountable. 606 $aNation-building$zKosovo (Republic) 606 $aDemocratization$zKosovo (Republic) 606 $aDemocracy$zKosovo (Republic) 606 $aInternational agencies$zKosovo (Republic) 607 $aKosovo (Republic)$xPolitics and government$y2008- 615 0$aNation-building 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aInternational agencies 676 $a949.71 700 $aSkendaj$b Elton$01579998 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787105703321 996 $aCreating Kosovo$93860521 997 $aUNINA
