Kosovo’s Foreign Policy and Bilateral Relations
This edited book analyzes Kosovo’s foreign policy and bilateral relations with the United States and several European countries. After the 1999 liberation from Serbia, Kosovo built close relations with various countries that supported it in the process of reconstruction, economic stabilization, institution-building, and state-building. From 1999 to 2008, many of these states were politically and operationally engaged in Kosovo under the leadership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). Since its independence in 2008, the Republic of Kosovo has adopted a foreign policy in accordance with its values and str...

Feminist Encounters in Statebuilding
This volume provides one of the first comprehensive feminist readings of international statebuilding, with a specific focus on the case of Kosovo. Rather than simply showing how the state in Kosovo is being built by and through women and feminist encounters, this volume is interested to problematise women and feminist subjectivities vis-à-vis the state and statebuilding. The book challenges three main arguments related to the processes and subjects of statebuilding in Kosovo. First, the academic literature on Kosovo has a tendency to take the international intervention of 1999 as the originary point of statebuilding processes in Kosovo. Second, and relatedly, given Kosovo's unprecedented ex...
Ex-Combatants and International Statebuilding
This book examines the international efforts to regulate violence in Kosovo since 1999 through the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and covers 15 years of international presence. The book analyses the process of implementing international policies from a sociological perspective, and looks at the adaptations and arrangements of public policies achieved through the transactions of international actors with local actors, who are at the heart of policy implementation. In particular, it analyses the disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration of combatants (DDR) programme and shows the extent to which it was co-produced with Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) leaders co-opted by internation...
Futures of the Western Balkans
This Brief provides a survey of key political, social, and economic issues affecting the Western Balkans region. Taking a two-pronged conceptual approach focusing on fragmentation and integration, the volume highlights commonalities and differences in a number of simultaneous dynamics currently characterizing the region: Europeanization and EU access, market integration, and migration and socio-demographic transformations. Stressing the interconnectedness of these issues, the volume synthesizes key questions for the future of the region, such as the relationship between socio-demographic trends and economic development, the effects of depopulation on further EU integration, and the economic and political repercussions of enhanced intra-regional trade. Explicitly interdisciplinary, this Brief will be useful for researchers and students specializing in the Balkans and Western Balkans, post-socialist countries, European affairs, enlargement, foreign policy, international relations, regional studies, economics, economic transition, and socio-demographics.
L'Afrique, nouveau terrain de jeu des émergents
Délaissé jusqu’il y a peu par la mondialisation car considéré comme une « cause perdue » de l’économie internationale, le continent africain est désormais courtisé tant par les puissances industrielles traditionnelles (États-Unis, Europe) que par toute une série d’acteurs émergents (Brésil, Chine, Inde, Russie, Afrique du Sud). Depuis les années 2000, ces derniers se sont dotés de stratégies africaines et les liens tissés avec le continent sont devenus aussi divers que nombreux allant de la diplomatie à l’économique en passant par le commerce et/ou la coopération au développement, universitaire et/ou militaire. Les raisons de ce rapprochement sont multiples : né...

Frontières. Approche multidisciplinaire
Cet ouvrage collectif s?intéresse au concept de frontière en alliant diverses disciplines. La notion de frontière transcende toutes les disciplines scientifiques pour couvrir des aspects tantôt matériels, tantôt immatériels. Elle peut être synonyme de limite physique, mais également symbolique ou encore idéologique. Notion polysémique, la frontière est ici envisagée à travers deux approches des Sciences sociales, à la fois différentes et complémentaires : politologique internationaliste, d?une part, et sociologique, d?autre part. Cet ouvrage se veut inédit de par son approche méthodologique diversifiée et apporte une plus-value aux approches classiques de Science politique et de Relations internationales sur la notion de frontière en favorisant sa mise en perspective multidisciplinaire. Il rassemble huit contributions originales et innovantes, mêlant réflexions théoriques et perspectives empiriques. Il contribue ainsi au développement des connaissances et à enrichir le débat sur une notion vaste et polysémique.
Dependence, Independence and Interdependence

Russian-European Relations in the Balkans and Black Sea Region
This book provides a detailed analysis of Russia’s ‘great power identity’ and the role of Europe in forming this identity. ‘Great power identity’ implies an expansionist foreign policy, and yet this does not explain all the complexities of the Russian state. For instance, it cannot explain why Russia decided to take over Crimea, but provided only limited support to break-away regions in Eastern Ukraine. Moreover, if Russia is in geo-economic competition with Europe, why has no serious conflict erupted between Moscow and other post-Soviet states which developed closer ties with the EU? Finally, why does Putin maintain relationships with the European countries that imposed tough economic sanctions on Russia? Vsevolod Samokhvalov provides a more nuanced understanding of Russia’s great power identity by drawing on his experience in regional diplomacy and research and applying a constructivist methodology. The book will appeal to students and scholars of international relations, in particular Russian-European relations, Russian foreign policy and Russian studies.
