Armin von Bogdandy, Petros C. Mavroidis, & Yves Meny produced a Liber amicorum in honor of Claus-Dieter Ehlermann, one of the best known experts on the European Constitutional Treaty & European integration. The volume, European Integration and International Coordination (2002), contains valuable contributions by several famous authors & professionals. The answers to some pressing questions constitute the core of the publication: Has information technology removed the territorial connotation of the law? How can the law adapt to the new global village? Is it possible to have a world juridical system without the existence of a world government? The authors seek for answers in the classic concepts of international law. M. Williamson

After a brief account of the origin of the Kosovo crisis & of the attempts made by the international community to bring it to a solution, in the present work, the Author starts analyzing the stands taken by States in relation to the declaration of independence issued on the 17 February 2008 by the Assembly of Kosovo. By weighing the validity of the arguments advanced in favour or against the independence of Kosovo, the Author first highlights the violation of the terms of the UN Security Council resolution 1244/99 by the unilateral declaration of independence & the contradictions & omissions inherent in the claim of uniqueness about Kosovo advanced by most of the States which have decided to recognize the new entity. The Author then claims that the independence of Kosovo cannot be characterized neither as an exercise of a (dubious) right to a remedial secession nor as a fait accompli. He therefore concludes that Kosovo does not qualify yet as a subject of international law, that the acts of recognition of the new entity adopted by several States are premature and, as such, illegitimate & that, notwithstanding it is resolutely denied in any official statement, the conduct of abovementioned States seems to be permeated by the philosophy of the remedial secession.
