  Probleme Politike Shqiptare (Albanian Political Problems

  Volume I ) (499 pp.)

  A collection of writings and in-depth analyses of the contemporary Albanian politics and societies from 1990 to 2005.

  Probleme Politike Shqiptare (Albanian Political Problems

  Volume I ) (499 pp.)

  Currently in its Fourth Edition

  this book examines the process of the transition from a one party system to a democratic system. Drawing on a vast number of resources

  materials and documents

  as well as on the intimate knowledge of the leading politicians

  parties and processes

  the book argues that ruling stratum in Albania has been able to systematically undermine all the efforts to build modern and sustainable political

  economical

  social and cultural structures that would have permitted a successful transformation of the system. Instead

  the Albanian political system is held hostage by a ruling stratum that has established a mafia state ruled by a consolidated oligarchy that exploits the social and cultural divisions to further its own goals. The book examines the Albanian transition through a framework that draws on elite theory

  relying on Niccolo MAchiavelli

  Gaetano Mosca

  Vilfredo Pareto and Antonio Gramsci.
