James Ker-Lindsay's research focuses on issues relating to conflict, peace, and security in the Western Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean. He is Eurobank EFG Senior Research Fellow on the Politics of South East Europe at the European Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science.
this is a novel work on an important topic with a wealth of
empirical evidence. It is accessible to both novices and experts
and addresses a wide breadth of the scholarly literatures.

Ker-Lindsayâs book should be credited for both its conceptual
novelty and the clarity of its analytical structure. Ker-Lindsay
successfully synthesises the politics of counter-recognition into
three elements: initial attempts to isolate seceding territories
from international communities (isolation), careful review of risks
involved in isolation tactics (risk review) and target setting to
maximise the benefit from the diplomatic endgame (target
setting).
