"This book is a tour de force. It is clear, to the point, streamlined, well-paced, and balanced. The book traces the development of emergency international aid programs for Kosovo and the ways these were transformed into a more traditional social policy. It places this largely descriptive study in the context of existent welfare state theory by correctly identifying the Kosovo welfare state as 'liberal' in character. Though it will certainly appeal to those interested in Kosovo, it will also appeal to those interested in international social policy more broadly and those interested in post-conflict social policy. It is original and unique in that no other more detailed analysis is known or indeed possible."--Mitchell Orenstein, S.
