The global ubiquity of informal economic activities has turned
informality into a key policy question, not least in international
peace- and state-building. This book explores a core aspect of
economic informality: its resilience despite comprehensive
international anti-informality operations. Using Kosovo as an
illustrative case, Danielsson suggests that to understand the
resilience of informality, two distinct areas of practice need to
be studied in conjunction rather than separately. The first
concerns the professional practices enacted by international
organisations in their attempts to formalise the informal economy
in Kosovo. The second area of practice concerns the everyday
informal economic practices of social agents in Kosovo. To study
these areas of practice at their junction, Danielsson uses Pierre
Bourdieu's concept of symbolic power and argues that in
post-conflict Kosovo, the distinct practices have become interwoven
and co-constitutive of a novel ordering and meaning of informality.
The resilience of the informal thus plays out through - while
undermining and reinforcing the need of - the international
anti-informality operations. Including scholarship from global
governance, global political economy and social theory, this book's
original perspective on informal economies and power will appeal to
scholars and professionals located in peace studies, development
studies, and the field of international relations.
