Drawing on extensive research and analysis, this book offers a comprehensive examination of party competition, state-building, and the influence of the European Union (EU) in Kosovo's political future. The book raises important questions about the role of political ideologies in post-conflict states, the dynamics of party competition, and the influence of external actors like the EU. It prompts readers to critically analyze the relationship between ideologies, governance realities, and the broader context of Balkan politics. By providing in-depth analysis, case studies, and theoretical frameworks, the book offers answers and solutions to these questions, enabling readers to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of Kosovo's political landscape. As such, this Brief will be appropriate for researchers and students interested in comparative politics, conflict studies, democratization, post-conflict governance, party systems, and EU integration.
