    Alfred Moisiu (Alfred SpiroMoisiu) Albania, Presidente de la República Duración del mandato: 24 de Julio de 2002 - de de Nacimiento: Shkodër, distrito de Shkodër, 01 de Diciembre de 1929 Partido político: sin filiación Profesión : Militar Resumen http://www.cidob.org 1 of 3 Biografía Hijo de un militante comunista, siendo un muchacho tomó parte en la lucha partisana contra los alemanes en los dos últimos años de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y en 1946, al poco de instaurarse el régimen marxista de Enver Hoxha, las autoridades le becaron para recibir educación superior en la URSS. En 1948 se graduó en la Escuela Militar de Ingenieros de San Petersburgo (entonces Leningrado), posteriormente desempeñó en Tirana diversas funciones de instrucción y mando de tropa y de 1952 a 1958 realizó estudios de perfeccionamiento en la Academia de Ingeniería Militar de Moscú. De vuelta a Albania y luego de romper el dictador Hoxha con el sistema soviético por la desestalinización lanzada por Krushchev, Moisiu prosiguió su ascensión como militar de carrera en la sección de ingenieros del Ministerio de Defensa. Entre 1967 y 1968 siguió en la Academia Militar de Tirana un curso para oficiales del Estado Mayor del Ejército al tiempo que comandaba una brigada de pontoneros en Kavaja. Desde 1971 dirigió la oficina de Ingeniería y Fortificaciones del Ministerio de Defensa (un aspecto esencial en el régimen paranoico de Hoxha, quien sembró el pequeño país de millares de casamatas de hormigón en previsión de una invasión de cualquiera de los muchos países que él tenía por enemigos) y en 1981 recibió el rango de viceministro, sirviendo a las órdenes sucesivamente de los ministros Beqir Balluku, Mehmed Shehu y Kadri Hasbiu.

  • Albanian Migrant Women
    Albanian migrant women Relation between migration and empowerment of women. The case-study of Albania A Bachelor Thesis Subject: Migration and the empowerment of women Title: Relation between migration and the empowerment of women. The case-study of Albania. Thesis supervisor: Dr. Bettina Bock Student: Liza Iessa Student ID: 870806532080 Date: 30 May 2014 City: Wageningen Institute: University of Wageningen Program: International Development Studies Abstract This is an explorative research of the determinants of migration for women who come from male dominant societies and migrate to more equal societies. The main theory used is the theory of the push and pull factor. The oppression of women in dominantly male societies is defined as a push factor. And opportunities for self-empowerment in more equal societies are defined as a pull factor. In Albania men are the ones who become the head of the household and only men are allowed to own any property. According to the Kanun any women that act in any way as a dishonourable person should be punished or even should pay with her blood. In male dominated societies, such as Albania, there a only few opportunities for women to climb the ladder in the labour market. It makes it very hard for women to provide for themselves and their families financially. Escape high levels of gender inequality is defined as an important reason for Albanian women to migrate. After the fall of the communist regime in the 90’s, the national borders opened up and migration from Albania has increased tremendously. Some women escape male dominant society by migrating to regions with relatively more equality in gender relations.
