  • Reforms and Governance Within the Higher Education System of Kosovo
    Reforms and Governance within the Higher Education System of Kosovo By Granit Jakupi Submitted to Central European University Department of Economics In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Economic Policy in Global Markets Supervisor: Professor Lajos Bokros CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2013 i ABSTRACT A number of studies worldwide, for several decades, have placed considerable importance on higher education when analyzing the potential that this system has in improving the economic development and mitigating the poverty among developing countries. This thesis investigates how the higher education system is affecting the unemployment level among educated workforce. It has been structured using a descriptive study design by mapping out the issues and providing solutions from the perspective of policy makers responsible for the higher education system. The theoretical framework has been derived based on institutional theories of higher education and literature on human capital. The core findings from this study resulted from extensive field research and analysis of statistics. The results suggest that the higher education system in Kosovo is poorly structured and it is identified as the main contributor to the unemployment level among educated workforce. Additionally, those findings suggest that the root, risks, and response is located to central institutions and it is in their hands to tackle the issue of jobless graduates within the country of Kosovo. Finally, the policy recommendations are formed following the data suggestions and they represent joint efforts of higher education institutions to undertake policy reforms in restructuring and improving the system. CEU eTD Collection ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude for Professor Lajos Bokros, for his enthusiastic encouragement, patient guidance, and valuable critiques through this thesis work as well as my studies at the Central European University.

Vladimir Randáček Supervisor: Prof. PhDr. Lenka Rovná, CSc. Opponent: Prof. Dr. Wilfried von Bredow (Philipps-Universität Marburg) Year: 2008 Hodnocení: Bibliographic Notation RANDÁČEK, Vladimír. The OSCE Verification Mission 1998-1999. Prague: UCharles University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of International Studies, 2008. 120 s. Supervisor Prof. PhDr. Lenka Rovná, CSc., Opponent Prof. Wilfried von Bredow (Philipps-Universität Marburg). Annotation The OSCE Kosovo Verification mission (KVM) was established in October 1998, in order to verify the compliance with the UN Security Council Resolutions relevant to the Kosovo conflict. The breakdown of the peace process in March 1999, lead to the withdrawal of the mission and painted it as a failure. It is surprising, how many authors speak about a failure of the KVM, while giving no reasonable argumentation. This study will try to show, that this negative assessment is largely a product of misinterpretation of the KVM´s mandate and misunderstanding of the very purpose of verification (observation) missions. It was not the task of the KVM to prevent the ceasefire violations, neither to provide a peaceful solution to the conflict. It was to verify (observe) the compliance with the UN Security Council Resolutions. Verification (observation) missions do not seek any concrete achievements (mission goals; as e.g. peacekeeping or peace enforcement missions), their “goal” is their performance.
