Description

The topic of state-building is a subject that has been continuously studied. To be fully understood, a case study should be included. Therefore, we have selected the case of Kosovo and the challenges of the process of state-building that Kosovo has had in the past. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the challenges that Kosovo's policy-making has faced along the road to state-building. The materials included in this scientific paper are from official documents from local and international institutions, as well as international and local authors from the field of state-building. The methodology used in this paper includes the descriptive method of events, analyzing them step by step to the stage of state-building, a process that continues to this day. The expected results from this paper are intended to reveal the challenging points that Kosovo politics has had, how it has faced them and how it has overcome these challenges. The role of the international factor in the process of state-building is also to be shown. In the case of Kosovo, we had big challenges both abroad and internally. Internally, the unification of Kosovo policy and harmonization with the international factor are included. Internationally, it was the achievement of internationalization of Kosovo's case and achievement of recognition as a state.

Process of State-building in Kosovo

Durres, Albania

The topic of state-building is a subject that has been continuously studied. To be fully understood, a case study should be included. Therefore, we have selected the case of Kosovo and the challenges of the process of state-building that Kosovo has had in the past. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the challenges that Kosovo's policy-making has faced along the road to state-building. The materials included in this scientific paper are from official documents from local and international institutions, as well as international and local authors from the field of state-building. The methodology used in this paper includes the descriptive method of events, analyzing them step by step to the stage of state-building, a process that continues to this day. The expected results from this paper are intended to reveal the challenging points that Kosovo politics has had, how it has faced them and how it has overcome these challenges. The role of the international factor in the process of state-building is also to be shown. In the case of Kosovo, we had big challenges both abroad and internally. Internally, the unification of Kosovo policy and harmonization with the international factor are included. Internationally, it was the achievement of internationalization of Kosovo's case and achievement of recognition as a state.
