This book makes the case for the independence of Kosova – the former province of ‘old-Yugoslavia’ and now temporarily a United Nations-led International protectorate – at a time in which international diplomacy is deeply involved in solving the contested issue of its 'Final Status'. Negotiations began in January 2006 under the auspices of a United Nations Special Envoy, and have been given renewed impetus by the international community’s determination to arrive at a solution. The Case for Kosova aims to contribute to these negotiations, by providing informed arguments for a different approach to the issue of Kosova’s status beyond the limitations of current debates. Its aim is to counteract the anti-Albanian propaganda waged by some parties, but never to propose a counter-propaganda hostile to others or to the goals of a democratic Kosova. Debates on Kosova have largely concentrated on a specific aspect of the issue: either on ideology and myth construction (ignoring translations into practice); on geo-politics (missing the deep implications for stability and security); or on policy (lacking a conceptual understanding of both ideologies and processes). Until now, no book has linked these different fields in a persuasive manner. The Case for Kosova fills this gap with an intellectually challenging and politically relevant commentary from key players in the debate.

Daring and to the point

The Case for Kosova is an excellent collection of cases addressed by names that have become authorities on the Kosovo issue. Ann Di Lellio has put together Janusz Bugajski, Bernd Fisher, Noel Malcolm, Julie Mertus, Owen Pearson and many other social scientist, journalists and historians who give their views on range of issues facing Kosovo's independence. I highly recommend this book to anyone with interest in the Balkans especially Kosovo and to anyone studying nation-building and development.

It's really a book form somebody who understands the circumstances in Kosovo... who has lived there for years and then writes about it a very serious fashion using some of the sources that have not been used before. This is very important as I tend to appreciate the authors that know the place they are speaking about and are not limited just to quotation of the sources. Its really good and valuable book to read... I highly recommend...
