We are grateful to the Centre for the Study of Civil War of the Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO) for providing funding in support of a con- ference held in Oslo in November 2012 at which most of the chapters included herein were originally presented. We would especially like to i6 Civic 00 book.indb 13 2014.09.30. 9:45 xiv Preface thank Andrew Feltham at PRIO for his superb administrative support of the conference. We also wish to thank David Kanin and an anonymous reviewer for their helpful comments on an earlier draft of this manuscript, and Krisztina Kós, the chief editor at Central European University Press, for her efficient processing of the work. Kosovo, as it is called in English, is written Kosovë or Kosova in Albanian. Although only the English spelling is standard in British and American media, we have decided to allow all three spellings in this volume. We have also allowed three alternative spellings of the coun- try’s capital city: Pristina (English), Prishtina (Albanian, but increasingly accepted for English usage), and Priština (Serbian). The standard adjective derived from the noun Kosovo is Kosovar, as used in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, and The Daily Telegraph, among other media. However, a few of the contributors to this volume have preferred to use the noun Kosovo as an adjective and, again, we have decided to permit linguistic pluralism. Sabrina P.

RAMET 1 The region which today comprises the Republic of Kosovo (spelled Kosovë or Kosova in Albanian) has enjoyed self-rule only since 2008. Conquered by Rome in 168 BCE, the region—which was included within a province which the Romans called Illyricum—passed under East Roman (Byzantine) rule when the empire split in the third century CE.

    Student Movements: 1968, 1981 and 1997 The impact of students in mobilizing society to chant for the Republic of Kosovo Atdhe Hetemi Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of East European Languages and Cultures Supervisor Prof. dr. Rozita Dimova Department of East European Languages and Cultures Dean Prof. dr. Gita Deneckere Rector Prof. dr. Rik Van de Walle October 2019 i English Summary This dissertation examines the motives and central visions of three student demonstrations, each taking place within different historical and political contexts and each organized by a different generation of Kosovo Albanian students. The years 1968, 1981 and 1997 witnessed a proliferation of student mobilizations as collective responses demanding more national rights for Albanians in Kosovo. I argue that the students' main vision in all three movements was the political independence of Kosovo. Given the complexity of the students' goal, my analysis focuses on the influence and reactions of domestic and foreign powers vis-à-vis the University of Prishtina (hereafter UP), the students and their movements. Fueled by their desire for freedom from Serbian hegemony, the students played a central role in "preserving" and passing from one generation to the next the vision of "Republic" status for Kosovo. Kosova Republikë or the Republic of Kosovo (hereafter RK) status was a demand of all three student demonstrations, but the students' impact on state creation has generally been underestimated by politicians and public figures. Thus, the primary purpose of this study is to unearth the various and hitherto unknown or hidden roles of higher education – then the UP – and its students in shaping Kosovo's recent history.

The hypothesis investigated in this study is that the ethnopolitical conflict that led to the break up of former Yugoslavia was the result of deliberate politicization of ethnicity.

In order to solve this puzzle, this article explores cross-national and inter-temporal differences in post-communist new democracies using statistical analysis and small-N case studies, and argues that policy factors and the rationality of ethnic minorities determine the success and failure of ethnic parties and account for the variance in their standings. As some studies have pointed out, ethnic minorities’ voting behaviour should be rational and strategic. This article represents a basic spatial model and argues that ethnic minorities react to other parties’ policy changes and to the capability of other parties to win seats. Statistical analysis verifies this hypothesis. In addition, I discuss the Baltic States–Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania--as case studies. Although these three countries share a similar history, experience with minority issues and a common institutional design, their party systems indicate significant differences.
