“…The literature on ethnic conflict and civil wars demonstrates how perceived ethnic grievances play an important role in shaping ethnic mobilization in civil war (Gurr 1993(Gurr , 2000Horowitz 2000;Petersen 2002Petersen , 2011Cederman, Gleditsch, and Buhaug 2013;Cederman, Gleditsch, and Wucherpfennig 2017;Siroky et al 2020). This literature emphasizes grievances such as perceived threats to survival of group cultures or physical existence (Rothchild and Hartzell 1999) and concerns about political exclusion, relative deprivation and group status, and the possibility of downward mobility (Petersen 2011;Cederman, Gleditsch, and Buhaug 2013;Siroky et al 2020).…”

“…Individual decision to participate in nationalist mobilization is also shaped by noninstrumental considerations. As Horowitz and Klaus (2020) note, psychological approaches to ethnic politics show that appeals to ethnic group level considerations related to status and deprivation are more likely to resonate due to "the psychic rewards that come from advancing in the social hierarchy" (39; see also Horowitz [2000]). In diverse and unequal societies, individuals "derive a sense of self-worth in part from where their community lies in the country's social hierarchy," and, as a result, their support for ethnic political mobilization is likely to increase in response to appeals that emphasize "group-level considerations related to status and deprivation" (Horowitz and Klaus 2020, 39).…”

“…In 1988 and 1989 there were miners' strikes demanding restoration of Kosovo's autonomy, and subsequently in 1990 the Independent Trade Unions of Kosovo (BSPK) organized a general strike to protest the firing of Albanian workers (Pula 2004, 811). In the 1990s, student associations were deeply involved in organizing demonstrations demanding the status of republic or independence for Kosovo (Hetemi 2020). The emphasis on these ethnic status issues continues in the postwar context.…”

“…We focus our analysis on postwar Kosovo. Prior to the 1998-1999 war, Kosovo Albanians responded to state violence with nonviolent resistance, including protests and strikes (Hetemi 2020;Pula 2004;Petersen 2011). After the war, Kosovo was administered by the UN Peacekeeping Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) until 2008 when it declared independence, and during this time it was the site of a multitude of protests.…”

Most research on protests has been conducted in peaceful societies, whereas we know far less about contentious collective action in postwar contexts. To fill this gap, we offer a theory that perceived ethnic grievances related to group security and group status are particularly likely to generate protest mobilization in postwar societies. To test this theory and alternative hypotheses, we investigate trends in protest behavior in postwar Kosovo using an original protest event dataset and existing survey data. We find that protest behavior in postwar Kosovo is significantly shaped by perceived ethnic grievances: the majority of protest grievances center around group security and group status concerns. Protests about economic justice or good governance demands are significantly rarer. Using data from existing surveys, we also investigate the determinants of variation in individual protest participation. Our analysis reveals that perceived ethnic discrimination is strongly associated with individual protest participation in Kosovo.

The ECHR and the Western Balkans: Bringing the Convention Home

Kabashi

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

What does it ultimately take to bring the ECHR home in all Western Balkans States and embed it properly within these domestic legal orders? This is the main query of this PhD thesis. How have the domestic courts and other domestic authorities reacted following violations found at the Strasbourg level in respect of their State? How often do the highest domestic courts in the Western Balkans engage in Convention talk and what is the quality of such judicial dialogue? What are the roles of the ECtHR and of the domestic courts in view of their shared responsibility to secure and ensure effective protection of Convention rights? When can the Strasbourg Court comfortably defer to the ratio decidendi of the domestic courts and other domestic authorities? What has been the impact and effects of the Convention and the ECtHR’s case-law in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Serbia? What are the good and not so good ECHR embeddedness practices that may be noticed across the Western Balkan States and what are the recommendations that this study suggests with a view to achieve better embeddedness/domestication of the ECHR? These are only some of the remaining research questions that are explored in this PhD monograph.
