"This volume is an extraordinarily rich contribution to the necessary debate about the Kosovo War. I fi nd this book to be the most illuminating overall assessment of Kosovo that is currently available, and indispensable for anyone who wants to understand world order since the fall of the Berlin Wall." -Richard A. Falk Princeton University"This volume represents what some of the best scholarship in international relations could offer." -James T. H. Tang, University of Hong Kong"The book will be the richest source of analyses of the various aspects of the war over Kosovo." -Sverre Lodgaard, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs.
