Martin A Smith & Paul Latawski 
The Kosovo crisis and the evolution of a post-Cold War European security 

This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. Analyses the international response to the crisis in Kosovo, and its broader implications by examining its diplomatic, military and humanitarian features. Unravelling these implications can be challenging as it remains an event replete with paradoxes – the originality of this book’s approach lies in its exploration of these paradoxes. The crisis in Kosovo has been a headline grabbing event – a serious study of the implications of the conflict on wider European security issues and institutions is urgently required.
