Reviews
'Citizenship is an important dimension of any new state. Who is included and who is excluded is always important, but perhaps even more so in new states which are weak or unconsolidated. In this study, Dzanki brings expertise in South Eastern European politics and in the politics of citizenship to show us the extent to which state building projects and ethnic identities are interlinked, and how these linkages are exploited by political elites in order to strengthen their hold over the levers of power. This book will become an important part of the literature on the politics of the new states of South East Europe.' Jo Shaw, University of Edinburgh, UK 'In multi-ethnic and unconsolidated states, citizenship can either unite or divide. In this important book Jelena Dzanki explains comprehensively how and why. Her systematic approach will serve as a model for comparative studies of citizenship beyond the Western Balkan cases examined.' Rainer BaubAck, European University Institute, Florence, Italy
