diverse concepts and strategies and explore the main characteristics, skills and traits that build up a leader, and how managers differ from them. This topic is in reality slightly studied in the context of Albania and we evaluate that literature…

The Albanian people are as ancient, possibly older, as the Greeks. Unlike other languages, the Albanian language shares no common roots with any other language. After World War II, Albania fell under the control of the Soviet Iron Curtain; the Soviet hegemony left an impact on Albanian culture that is still felt today. Enea was born just a few years after the communist government was dissolved; however, his parents lived through the…

In what must have been a line meant particularly for Neville Chamberlain, in the same speech he announced that, “in my view, the rape of Albania is to the Anglo-Italian agreement what the destruction of Czechoslovakia was to the Munich agreement.” Attlee and the Labour party viewed the invasion of Albania and Czechoslovakia as “the end of the attempt to make peace by disregarding moral issues.” Labour party rhetoric was as pointed as ever, attacking Chamberlain’s policy…

During most of the duration of Communism, Albania had not always been a nation in isolation, as is otherwise often assumed. Indeed, after World War II, Albania joined other nations within the Soviet Block in the trend of authoritative rule and self-reliant industry; methods of production were centralized and state ownership took precedence over all else. However, in the decades leading up to the 1970’s, foreign inflows of capital and selective international trade with other communist regimes,…

re-establish their commercial balance, as for some countries as Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Greece, Cyprus, for the year 2011, the touristic exports are more than 30% of the total exports(WTTC, 2012). Tourism in Albania, with all the possibilities that it offers, can be used as one of the best ways not only for the economic development, but even as a device for the economic integration of all the regions.

The Sworn Virgins of Albania are a perfect example of the relationships and differences between male and female, and sex and gender. Taking a vow to dress and act like a man, these Sworn Virgins are accepted by their communities and looked at as men, no matter their sex and/or upbringing. In this paper I will examine the cultural logic and norms that make becoming a Sworn Virgin possible, desirable, and even necessary. Every society has their own specific norms. Depending on the location,…

past. It’s not that the current residents mean to add to the destruction of black communities. They just have not had the chance to interact with those people who have experienced it. New Portland residents who move to the communities in and around Albania may never encounter a black resident that lived there in the 1970s. In order to curb the effects of the discriminatory practices and policies, the city government needs to make efforts educate the white residents about the history of the area.…

Mussolini because it was clear that Germany was carving out its own empire and Italy was not. To compensate for this, Mussolini took over Albania on Good Friday 1939. To him, this was a sign of Italys expanding power in Europe. King Victor Emmanuel was offered the title of King of Albania. Italian propaganda made a great deal out of this but in reality Albania had been under the influence of Italy for years and this was barely an Italian military success. Mussolini made it clear to Hitler that…

One of Italy’s most hated men in history is their former fascist Prime Minister, Benito Mussolini. Mussolini ruled over Italy from the years 1922 until 1943, when he was dismissed by King Victor Emmanuel and his position was filled by Pietro Badoglio. During Mussolini’s reign as prime minister of Italy he created foreign policy objectives, affected countries with his policies, and signed the “Pact of Steel”. While Benito Mussolini was the prime minister of Italy he aimed to make his country an…

adjacency to developed European markets is a significant factor that contributes to low levels of FDI inflows in Albania. The distance between developed markets and the host country appears to be the most determining factor that contributes to low FDI in the case of Albania. This is why the most FDI inflows to Albania come mainly from Greece and Italy. The limited proximity of Albania to developed market economies does not allow for technological benefits to take…
