This book represents a unique endeavor to elucidate the story of
Kosovo's unilateral quest for statehood. It is an inquiry into the
international legal aspects and processes that shaped and
surrounded the creation of the state of Kosovo. Being created
outside the post-colonial context, Kosovo offers a unique yet
controversial example of state emergence both in the theory and
practice of creation of states. Accordingly, the book investigates
the legal pathways, strategies, developments and policy positions
of international agencies/actors and regional players (in
particular the EU) that helped Kosovo to establish its independence
and gradually acquire statehood. Although contested, Kosovo, and
its quest for statehood, represents a unique example of successful
unilateral secession. The book therefore explores and analyses
patterns of state formation and nation-building in Kosovo, and its
transition to democracy. It presents a three-level assessment.
First, seen from a historical perspective, the book examines the
validity of the right of Kosovar-Albanians to self-determination
and remedial secession. Second, from a legal positivist
perspective, it scrutinizes all of the legalist arguments that
support Kosovo's right to statehood, and claims that both
traditional and legality-based criteria for statehood remain
insufficient to determine whether Kosovo has achieved statehood.
Third, from a post-factum perspective, the book analyzes the scope
and extent to which the internationally blended element was
decisive in Kosovo's state-formation and state-building processes.
It explains how the EU's involvement as an 'internationally blended
element' in Kosovo's efforts to achieve statehood was instrumental
and played a crucial role in shaping the emerging state. In
particular, the book elaborates on how the EU was able to
streamline its mode of intervention in the context of
state-building and reform.
