A major contribution to the debate about the reconstruction of Kosovo, and to the general discussion surrounding the revived 'trusteeship institution' model in the context of the UN internationalism of the 1990s and the War on Terror following 9/11. Bringing together leading international scholars, this book presents the latest empirical research alongside detailed theoretical analysis. Examining the key questions local parties and the international community have encountered in Kosovo, including how to develop effective and inclusive local government, how to counter crime and the dysfunctional aspects of liberal economic reform, how to unite the partly opposed goals of reconstructing the province while avoiding renewed ethnic and international strife, and how to handle the specific challenge of Kosovo’s future status. The contributors also re-examine the background factors that continue to influence and hamper the attempt to administrate and reconstruct the province, first of all the nationalist ideologies and the record of ethnic violence. This book will be of great interest to all students of Balkan politics, peacekeeping, international relations and security studies in general.

This textbook offers a new approach to understanding social theory. Framed around paired theoretical perspectives on a series of sociological problems, the book shows how distinctive viewpoints shed light on different facets of social phenomena. The book includes sociology’s "founding fathers", major 20th-century thinkers and recent voices such as Butler and Zizek. Philosophically grounded and focused on interpretation and analysis, the book provides a clear understanding of theory’s scope while developing students’ skills in evaluating, applying and comparing theories.

PopulAerkulturens spillefilm er meget mere end blot underholdning. I denne bog demonstrerer 10 yngre forskere, hvordan en rAekke udvalgte spillefilm kan tjene som ramme om en analyse og diskussion af vAesentlige sporgsmal relateret til terror og terrorbekAempelse: Hvad er prAeventiv krig, og hvilke problemer er forbundet med denne form for krigsforelse - se Minority Report! Hvad er argumenterne for og imod anvendelse af tortur i forsoget pa at komme terroren i forkobet - se The Siege! Hvordan former den stigende overvagning vores adfAerd - se The Truman Show! Hvordan kan vi beskrive forholdet mellem medierne og terroristerne - se Mad City!Filmmediet fungerer som en form for eksperimentarium i forhold til komplicerede moralske og politiske sporgsmal. Derfor kan film anvendes som en pAedagogisk loftestang i forstaelsen og diskussionen af mulige losninger pa udfordringerne for nutidens samfund.Terror og film abner for en anderledes og sjovere made at lAere pa - og dermed for en mere varieret og inspirerende undervisning i fx gymnasiet. Ved at tage udgangspunkt i, hvad vi allerede ved fra timerne foran lAerredet eller skAermen, men maske ikke har begreber for, letter bogen forstaelsen af, hvad terror er, og hvilke problem der der rejser sig i forsoget pa at bekAempe den.

A study of Slavoj Å1⁄2iÅ3⁄4ek'¿¿s political philosophy. Focusing on the combination of psychoanalytic theory and philosophy, the book offers an overview of Å1⁄2iÅ3⁄4ek'¿¿s analysis of contemporary society. In five chapters, the reader is introduced to Å1⁄2iÅ3⁄4ek'¿¿s method, his view of the political impasse in the postmodern world, and his suggestion for a way ahead to renewed action and political invention. Rich in examples, the book gives an engaging and entertaining tour around the landscape of Å1⁄2iÅ3⁄4ek'¿¿s political endeavour, while at the same time insisting on a more systematic and piecemeal approach than the Slovenian tends to offer himself.
