In the 1990s, Yugoslavia, which had once been a role model for
development, became a symbol for state collapse, external
intervention and post-war reconstruction. Today the region has two
international protectorates, contested states and borders, severe
ethnic polarization and minority concerns. In this first in-depth
critical analysis of international administration, aid and
reconstruction policies in Kosovo, Jens Stilhoff Soerensen argues
that the region must be analyzed as a whole, and that the process
of state collapse and recent changes in aid policy must be
interpreted in connection to the wider transformation of the global
political economy and world order. He examines the shifting inter-
and intracommunity relations, the emergence of a "political
economy" of conflict, and of informal clientelist arrangements in
Serbia and Kosovo and provides a framework for interpreting the
collapse of the Yugoslav state, the emergence of ethnic conflict
and shadow economies, and the character of western aid and
intervention. Western governments and agencies have built policies
on conceptions and assumptions for which there is no genuine
historical or contemporary economic, social or political basis in
the region. As the author persuasively argues, this discrepancy has
exacerbated and cemented problems in the region and provided
further complications that are likely to remain for years to come.
