Reviews

There are several reasons why this edited volume is a highly recommended contribution. Firstly, it includes chapters written by a select group of contributors - experts in their areas of research and work - who discuss several aspects of the Kosovo Advisory Opinion. Among them there are lawyers, academics and counsels to international courts and tribunals. In addition, the book advances an interdisciplinary perspective which enables a more comprehensive understanding of the issue at hand. Indeed the originality of this volume lies precisely in the significance it places in the development of a better understanding of the complex relationship between law and politics... Overall, the book is highly recommended for scholars and researchers interested in Kosovo's status and in the normalisation of its relations with Serbia, as well as for scholars working on other cases of contested statehood and on issues of secession and recognition.
