International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance contributes
theoretical and empirical insights to the existing knowledge on the
scope, challenges and results of post-conflict international state-
and institution-building project focusing on post-war Kosovo.
Post-war Kosovo is one of the high-profile cases of international
intervention, hosting a series of international missions besides a
massive inflow of international aid, technical assistance and
foreign experts. Theoretically, the book goes beyond the standard
narrative of international top-down institution building by
exploring how international and local factors interact, bringing in
the mediating role of local resistance and highlighting the
hybridity of institutional change. Empirically, the book tests
those alternative explanations in key areas of institutional reform
- municipal governance, public administration, normalization of
relations with Serbia, high education, creation of armed forces,
the security sector and the hold of Salafi ideologies. The findings
speak to timely and pertinent issues regarding the limits of
international promotion of effective institutions; the mediating
role of local agents; and the hybrid forms of institution-building
taking shape in post-conflict Kosovo and similar post-war contexts
more broadly. Addressing challenges of state-building at the
intersection of international interventions, local strategies of
resistance, and the hybridity of institution-building experience
with institutional reforms in Kosovo and in post-conflict contexts
more broadly, International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance
will be of great interest to scholars of international relations,
state building and post-conflict societies. The chapters were
originally published as a special issue of Southeast European and
Black Sea Studies.
