Kosovo’s declaration of independence on 17 February 2008 has had a profound and polarising impact on international relations. While over a third of the world’s countries have recognised Kosovo, others have been concerned that it sets a precedent for secessionist minorities. Indeed, Kosovo appears to have been used as a precedent in the Russia-Georgia conflict over South Ossetia. The book brings together contributions from leading academics on the legal aspects of Kosovo and, in particular, the International Court of Justice’s Advisory Opinion of 2010. The result is an extensive examination from a variety of experts on Kosovo and its impact on international law.

“Scholars, international decision-makers, and governmental operatives should explore this rich vein of practical nuggets. In an arena otherwise laden with sub-surface political animus. This addition to the literature should be lodged in any library or personal collection focusing on secession, self-determination, and a better understanding of what the Kosovo conflict has to offer for contemporary secession discourse.”
