Rezensionen

'This important and timely book on Kosovo advances our understanding of the everyday turn in statebuilding research. It does so by introducing a novel theoretical framework to study the micro-level everyday statebuilding practices with the macro-level statebuilding process. The rich empirical analysis is compelling and brings unique insights into the EU as a statebuilding actor, and into the formal and informal encounters between local government and EU representatives in the ongoing statebuilding process in Kosovo. This engaging book will have a broad readership inside and outside academia.'

Annika Björkdahl, Lund University.

'Although many claim to engage with and comprehend everyday statebuilding practices and dynamics, few scholars have gone as far as Dr Ilazi has with this book. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the everyday encoded technologies and networked expertise used by the EU to impose external norms and promote institutional reforms. The book is essential reading for academics and professionals interested in the politics, paradoxes, and fallacies of EU statebuilding practices.'

Gëzim Visoka, Dublin City University

'This book distinctively explains the role of the European Union in relation to the trajectory of statebuilding in Kosovo. It is essential reading with persuading insights that are based on Dr. Ilazi's empirical research. The book represents a superb addition to the body of knowledge and ought to benefit both academics and policymakers equally. Its insightful analysis highlights the significant difficulties the EU faces, which we can only hope will be taken into account in its future interventions.'
