ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | This book examines the obstacles to reconciliation and social reconstruction in Kosovo, and discusses the potential and problems of the revived trusteeship institution. The book presents the latest empirical knowledge alongside detailed theoretical analysis. After a re-examination of the background factors that continue to hamper the attempt to administrate and reconstruct the society of Kosovo, the book analyzes the key challenges local parties and the international community have encountered in the country including the ones associated with the reconstruction of local governance, the educational system and the economic sector as well as the question of Kosovo's status. More generally, the volume asks whether the revived international trusteeship institution is the way forward for international society when faced with reconstruction challenges of the scale of Kosovo, Bosnia, East Timor, Afghanistan and Iraq. In this perspective, it discusses the underlying liberal aspirations as well as the ramifications of the increasing securitization, militarization and great-power domination of international trusteeship arrangements indicated by the examples of Afghanistan and Iraq. Fundamental questions concerning the relationship between trusteeship and sovereignty, national self-determination and the potential of world organizations are raised as well. |
