ABSTRACT

In this concluding chapter we problematise how women-led and feminist statebuilding initiatives have not gained importance or centrality within the literature on statebuilding in Kosovo. We revisit how previous and continuous statebuilding initiatives have been sidelined not only in the literature, but also by state institutions. We conclude the volume focusing on how statebuilding, traditionally understood, is an unambiguously gendered, patriarchal and androcentric wherein an amalgam of actors in action in different levels and spaces, sideline or ignore every day informal and non-institutional acts and practices that disrupt and constitute statebuilding processes.
