ABSTRACT Despite being a Muslim-majority society, Kosovo increasingly securitizes practising Muslims by politicizing the ostentatiously pious among them as a threat to Europe’s security and Kosovar identity. Given the EU’s significant discursive and political power in Kosovo, this article pursues the question of how European representatives conceive of pious Kosovar Muslims, and whether this image might explain their securitization. On the basis of 24 semi-structured interviews with various European officials conducted in 2018, I argue that they predominantly imagine pious Kosovar Muslims as influenced by foreign powers through indoctrination, material incentives or appeals to identity, which does condone their securitization. However, this image is in fact shaped by local Kosovar elites who instil such conceptions in European officials because such an image helps them in the pursuit of their own political agendas. The article exposes the intricate mechanism and power relations that underlie this process of policy-relevant knowledge production.

想像科索沃的伊斯兰教-欧洲政治参与者中科索沃穆斯林主题的社会建构

摘要尽管是一个穆斯林占多数的社会,但科索沃通过将其中夸大的虔诚政治化为对欧洲安全和科索沃身份的威胁,逐渐将实践穆斯林证券化。鉴于欧盟在科索沃具有重要的话语权和政治权力,本文将探讨以下问题:欧洲代表如何看待虔诚的科索沃穆斯林,以及这种形象是否可以解释其证券化。根据2018年对欧洲各官员进行的24次半结构化访谈,我认为他们主要想象虔诚的科索沃穆斯林受到灌输,物质激励或对身份的呼吁等外国势力的影响,这确实宽容了他们的证券化。然而,这种形象实际上是由当地的科索沃精英阶层塑造的,他们向欧洲官员灌输了这样的观念,因为这种形象有助于他们追求自己的政治议程。本文揭示了与政策相关的知识生产过程的基础的复杂机制和权力关系。
