Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Since the end of the war in Kosovo, the success of the Kosovo Liberation Army (Ushtria lirimtare e Kosovës, UCK) has been widely publicised both inside and outside Kosovo. Despite this wide publicity for the UCK however, its origins remain rather mysterious and have rarely received serious scholarly scrutiny. How and why did the UCK start to organise and sustain its rebellion against the Serbian regime? Given that the Serbian regime was powerful and ruthless, it is important to ask, following Petersen (2001, p. 1), 'how and why do individuals accept enormous risks in the process?' To answer these questions, this essay analyses the genesis of the UCK and its evolution into a large-scale guerrilla army, based on interviews and materials collected in Kosovo.
