Nation Failure, Ethnic Elites, and Balance of Power: The International Administration of Kosova

Autor Shinasi A. Rama
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 ian 2019
This book examines the history of nation-building in Kosova as a model of how the theories behind nation-building, state-building and peace-building can succeed or fail. The author argues that two missing factors led to successful state-building but failed nation-building in Kosova: the balance of power and the ethnic elite. The author uses his unique expert knowledge gained over thirty years of study to present a thorough overview of international administration and nation-building in Kosova.
