 Kosovo: The Long 
        Road to War, A Chronology 1988-1999
 Provides a detailed timeline of developments in Serbia and its province 
        of Kosovo, related events in Europe, and diplomatic actions to deal with 
        the evolving crisis that led to NATO's decision to employ armed action 
        against a sovereign state. The chronology exposes hidden and little-known 
        facts and events during the 12-year escalation of the regional crisis 
        and ensuing conflict.

 Kosovo and the Challenge 
        of Humanitarian Intervention: Selective Indignation, Collective Intervention, 
        and International Citizenship.
 The Kosovo conflict has the potential to redraw the landscape of international 
        politics, with significant ramifications for the UN, major powers and 
        regional organizations as well as for the way in which we understand and 
        interpret world politics. Albrecht Schnabel and Ramesh Thakur, eds.

 Who 
        is who in Kosovo
 31 August 1999
 This paper offers a brief guide to the leading indigenous political organisations 
        and personalities in Kosovo/Kosova.
 
 Waiting 
        for UNMIK: Local Administration in Kosovo
 18 October 1999
 More than four months have passed since the start of the deployment of 
        the United Nations in Kosovo. While first efforts were concentrated on 
        the creation of a secure environment and the distribution of humanitarian 
        aid, Civil Administration, the pillar of UNMIK which plays the role of 
        a government, has been slow in reaching the local level.
 
 Violence 
        in Kosovo: Who is killing whom?
 2 November 1999
 The agreement signed on 20 September between the Kosovo Liberation Army 
        (KLA) and KFOR commanders transformed the KLA into a 5,000-strong, nominally 
        multiethnic civilian force - the Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC). This move 
        is unlikely to halt the rising tide of violence and crime in Kosovo, or 
        to stem the continued exodus of the province's few remaining non-Albanians; 
        stopping the violence in Kosovo will require much more.
 
 Trepca: 
        Making Sense of the Labyrinth
 26 November 1999
 The enterprise known as Trepca1is a sprawling conglomerate of some 40 
        mines and factories, located mostly in Kosovo but also in other locations 
        in Serbia and Montenegro. Its activities include chemical processing and 
        production of goods as varied as batteries and paint. But the heart of 
        its operations, and the source of most of its raw material, is the vast 
        mining complex to the east of Mitrovicë/a in the north of Kosovo, famous 
        since Roman times. This report examines the current position of the mines, 
        together with the associated smelting complex at nearby Zvecan.
 
 Starting 
        from Scratch in Kosovo: Honeymoon is over
 10 December 1999
 After an unprecedented, multilateral military intervention in Kosovo succeeded 
        in expelling Serb forces and enabling the return home of more than a million 
        displaced persons, the international community embarked on the ambitious, 
        long-term project of securing, rebuilding, and establishing the rule of 
        law in Kosovo, while setting the territory on the path to self-governance. 
        Visionary promises were made to the people of Kosovo......
