Aufstieg und Transformation eines Gewaltakteurs : die Befreiungsarmee des Kosovo (UÇK)
Rise and change of a violent actor : the Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK)
- Following an interpretive sociological approach, the article analyses the rise and transformation of the UÇK in terms of social order and the resulting implications for a solution of the Kosovo status question. Combining Elias’ concept of society with Bourdieu’s categories of capital, the development of the UÇK can be “understood” from an interpretive point of view. In the social space of war, the UÇK rose as a result of increasing capital. As the war ended, the UÇK fell apart because it was unable to accomplish the indispensable functions of any social order.
