Escaping the Self-Determination Trap

Marc Weller · Martinus Nijhoff / Brill (2008)

tlte-cite:weller-kosovo-2008

Editorial gloss

The leading academic commentary on the Kosovo precedent. Weller argues that Kosovo's recognition path is sui generis — turning on the UNMIK administration, the Ahtisaari Plan, and the prolonged failure of status negotiations — and that the precedent does not generalise. Decisive for the Eelam frame: any 'Kosovo is the precedent' argument must explain why those sui-generis features are present in the Eelam case.
