ABSTRACT Twenty years of international statebuilding have made little impact on the ‘stateness’ of Kosovo. This article puts this failure in the broader context of the shift from the liberal internationalist assumptions of the late 1990s to the pragmatic realism of today. It does this through the lenses of E H Carr’s classic work The Twenty Years’ Crisis, UN policy thinking on the problematic assumptions of international statebuilding and the diagnoses in David Lake’s 2016 book The Statebuilder’s Dilemma, which sets out three pragmatic alternatives. The article concludes that all three of these alternatives can be seen in practice in Kosovo.

科索沃：国家建设的乌托邦与现实

摘要二十年来的国际国家建设对科索沃的“国家地位”影响不大。本文将这种失败置于更广泛的背景下，即从1990年代后期的自由国际主义假设转变为当今的务实现实主义。它是通过EH Carr的经典著作《二十年的危机》，联合国对国际建国问题的假设的政策思考以及戴维·莱克（David Lake）在2016年出版的《建国者的困境》中的诊断方法实现的，该书提出了三种务实的选择。文章的结论是，在科索沃，可以在实践中看到所有这三种选择。
