International Securitization: the Case of Kosovo Erdoan A. Shipoli

Many distinguished scholars have discussed the securitization theory and its contributions, from different perspectives. This book argues that there are different levels of securitization, and they differ from each other on many points, especially the actors involved. In this book the reader can see how this difference is seen in the international and domestic levels of securitization. For Kosovo, on the other hand, it has been written a lot, but the objectivity of most of the works published is doubtful. With an insight experience, and a good literature review, the author aims to unveil many myths on Kosovo. Although this book shows how Kosovo was securitized for the NATO intervention, it also includes explanations of many situations before the war of Kosovo in 1999, to better explain the problems in the region, which led to this war.
