Talk Resume:
It examines the main features of
the Western-assisted non-governmental sector in Kosovo engaged in peace
building and multi-ethnic coexistence. It seeks to answer the question why this
well-designed civil society, well integrated in the flows of transnational aid
industry, has not so far developed significant leverage against the dominant
ethno-nationalist politics in Kosovo. A critique
of the static model of 'majority-versus-minority' leads the presentation to the
recognition of the tension between
citizenship as a set of rights, as identity, and as status. The presentation of the (hidden) everyday practices of inter-ethnic
cooperation in the realm of work and private communication in Kosovo serves to
propose that alternative (ethnographic) approaches be used as advanced methods
of conflict-analysis.
