Reviews

Well chosen photographs ... Disaster and design are artfully brought together in this smartly-produced and smoothly-written volume. Journal of Refugee Studies The report has the great merit of offering clear morally and politically coherent analysis based on sober, balanced assessments of evidence. Journal of Development Studies The quest for peace has created a need for even more dialogue on the international plane. The report from the Kosovo Commission will provide an independent assessment of conflict and intervention that can assist in advancing dialogue amongst all leaders, scholars and interested parties.
