This book compares  two adjacent municipalities two years into that intervention. Similar in all key respects, by 2001 the municipalities were headed down different paths - one making progress toward institution-building, democratization, and reconstruction; the other stagnating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Holohan provides a conceptually elegant and yet remarkably practical analysis of democratization and reconstruction efforts in two municipalities in Kosovo, some two ears after the launch of the United Nations post-conflict mission there in 1999.\"—\u003ci\u003eContemporary Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Throughout the case studies, Holohan relentlessly pushes her theoretical points, while seamlessly weaving the theoretical aspects of network organizations into the specific discussions of the municipalities . . . \u003ci\u003eNetworks of Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e undoubtedly provides important lessons for international interventions, both present and future.\"—\u003ci\u003eYale Journal of International Law\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Anne Holohan brings something long overdue to the democratization bookshelf: comparative case studies based on fieldwork.
