ABSTRACT
After 18 years of peacebuilding and state-building efforts, Kosova continues to struggle with high levels of poverty and low levels of integration among ethnicities. This chapter draws on intersectional analysis, grounded in postcolonial theories, to illustrate that state-building practices in Kosova are built upon monolithic views of culture, ethnicity, religion, gender and other identity categories. Additionally, the chapter highlights that social workers have a professional duty to address state-building practices while placing primacy on intersectional theorising to approach contemporary global issues.
