During each phase, international policy towards Kosovo has challenged prevailing international norms and pushed the boundaries of conventional wisdom. In each of the three phases 'Kosovo' has been cited as constituting a precedent, and this book explores the impact and the often troubling consequences and implications of these precedents. This book explicitly engages with this debate, which transcends Kosovo itself, and provides a critical analysis of the catalysts and consequences of contemporary international engagement with this seminal case study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter focuses on a particular aspect of the international engagement with Kosovo and situates events there in an international context, highlighting the extent to which international policy towards Kosovo has challenged existing norms and practices. Kosovo has been cited in certain texts as a positive template to be emulated, but the contributors to this book also identify the often controversial and contentious nature of these new norms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of humanitarian intervention and statebuilding, war and conflict studies, security studies and IR in general. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAidan Hehir\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Westminster.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":56611506323800,"sku":"9780415622202","price":61.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/kosovo-intervention-and-statebuilding-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
