This book presents the background that led to Kosovo's success in
separating from Serbia and explains the reasons for its failure to
achieve uncontested statehood-both internally and externally. It
sheds light to the process of Kosovo's secession starting from its
first unsuccessful attempt to secede in 1991and continuing to the
present day. It shows how long and at the same time how lucky its
secession was: Kosovo was eventually at the right place and the
right time, being geographically located in Europe and having
secured the support of the US at the time of its absolute supremacy
in the international affairs. However, as this supremacy declined,
Kosovo's progress in international affairs declined too. Ten years
after its unilateral declaration of independence, it has yet to
achieve UN membership and uncontested statehood, and Kosovo also
faces shortcomings in its internal function as a state. This book
provides a holistic approach towards Kosovo's secession from an
international relations point of view. It takes into consideration
events that happened in different times and different places and
shows that secession is not merely an act that takes place in one
specific time and place. It is rather a process that spans over
time and events at different levels of analysis shape its outcome.
