It discusses the influence of the activities undertaken by the local authorities on both the natural environment and the economic aspects of human life. Potential effects of project implementation within the public-private partnership in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivodship (province) on the development of the Voivodship are presented. Due to the difficult situation in the region, the citizens’ expectations to conduct investments and limited possibilities of increasing income, implementing projects within public-private partnership seems to be a favourable solution. Keywords: public-private partnership, sustainable development Introduction The main purpose of the article is to present both the implemented and conducted projects and project ideas within the framework of public-private partnership. The probable influence of the presented project ideas in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodship (province) on the sustainable development of the Voivodship is indicated. The main research methods are the descriptive method and case study including the analysis of the projects conducted within the Public-Private Partnership in Poland including the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodship in particular. The Concept of Sustainable Development The concept of sustainable, self-sustaining development was used for the first time in a document of the World Nature Organization in 1980. Three years

  • Albania's Collapse and Reconstruction
    PERCEPTIONS JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS March - May 1998 Volume III - Number 1 ALBANIA’S COLLAPSE AND RECONSTRUCTION PAUL KUBICEK Paul Kubicek is Assistant Professor in Department of International Relations at Koç University, Istanbul. In the first months of 1997, just as the world celebrated one year of peace in Bosnia, another Balkan state, Albania, plunged into crisis. The mayhem in Albania was triggered by a collapse in shady pyramid investment schemes, but its root causes were decades of economic mismanagement and political corruption. These continued to plague the country even after the collapse of communism in 1991-1992. Many Albanians targeted their wrath on President Sali Berisha, who was held by many to be responsible for the country’s slide into the abyss. Despite his efforts to restore order, government authority collapsed, and the state fell into anarchy as marauding gangs took control of several cities. International forces were eventually called in to help provide humanitarian assistance, control lawlessness, and prepare for new elections. The elections were held in June, and a new government was formed and quickly garnered much-needed international support. However, questions remain over what it and the international community can further do to foster reconciliation and stability in the country. In this paper I will focus on the role of international actors—the UN, OSCE, EU, IMF, non-governmental organisations and interested states—in putting Albania back together. All parties recognise that their effort will be crucial simply because Albania itself lacks the wherewithal to recover on its own. In order to assess whether and how international actors will succeed in their efforts I will extend the analysis beyond the immediate crisis in Albania and look for lessons and parallels with other international efforts to reconstruct or preserve troubled states.

  • Institutional Political Developments from the Assembly of Durres to the Congress of Lushnja
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 5 No 2 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy July 2016 Institutional Political Developments from the Assembly of Durres to the Congress of Lushnja Eldi Sherifi PhD candidate, Faculty of Law, University of Tirana Doi:10.5901/ajis.2016.v5n2p187 Abstract There are several historical studies on the Congress of Durrës and Congress of Lushnja, but in my opinion further studies should be conducted on the history of political institutions and their political organizing operators as well as their inhibitors. On July 29, 1913 the Great powers declared Albania a Hereditary and Sovereign Autonomous Principality. At the Peace Conference in 1919, Clemenceau and Lloyd defended the thesis of "inability of Albanians to Self Government" and offered the solution of sharing the governance responsibility between Yugoslavia and Italy to implement the Secret Treaty of London on 26 April 1915. The Congress of Durres was held after the conclusion of the First World War. It was led by Mehmet Konica and Myfit Libohova. Delegates elected the interim government and the delegation for representing Albania at the Peace Conference in Paris. The Congress of Lushnja came as an illuminating meteor in the dark and hopeless institutional environment. Its development destroyed the anti-Albanian political intrigues. After they toppled the government of Durres by voting against it, the congress delegates established all the powers of the state, according to the principles of Montesquieu. Through several transparent procedures they established "National Council", "Supreme Council" and the Cabinet. The evidence and acts sources of law served as the legal basis.

  • Century. the American School of Kavaja, Pedagogical and Aesthetical Model
    ICRAE2015 Conference- Paper Proceedings, ISSN: 2308-0825 PROJECT OF THE BALKAN UNIVERSITY IN ALBANIA IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY. THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF KAVAJA, PEDAGOGICAL AND AESTHETICAL MODEL Shpend Bengu European University of Tirana. Albania .Email: [email protected] Abstract The American politics for the transformation and development of the Near East in the beginnings of the 20th century included even Albania. These politics became concrete in Albania through the opening for the first time of American schools in Albania, in early 1920s. In order to implement the project for the development of the Balkan countries, the United States through the Near East Foundation, projected the creation of the Balkan University in Albania, a project that started with the building of the architectonic ensemble of the American School of Kavaja, in the 1930s.This school focused on the importance of the pedagogical quality by bringing in Albania a very professional staff of American professors who were PhD-s in Sciences and Arts. These professors have had an enormous contribution not only in educating the students with the most advanced American theories and practices of the time, but also in the documentation of the school life. During their work, the American professors made possible the recording and archiving of a great part of Albanian Cultural Heritage of the beginning of 20th century. The Kavaja school, fulfills all the standards of the contemporary American Design International Style. The refectory building, besides its utilitarian aspect, served even as socio-cultural space for the students and the inhabitants around the area. The objective of the school was the adaptation of the American products in the European and Mediterranean aspect.

In respect of this approach, we have seen a period of extraordinary awareness of the american press of the time in favor of the albanian issue, direct result of the valuable contribution of the albanian diaspora in USA., organized in the federation “hearth”. simultaneously, as a representative of this federation, we have to mention the direct commitment and contribution in defense of the albanian issue, Fan S. Noli, which is evidenced in his meeting with president Wilson, taking his promise which he will make a reality in the Paris Peace Conference. This research will be based on analysis of historical resources before and after years ‘90, seeing from comparative context. Key words: Paris Peace Conference , “Vatra” federation, albanian diaspora, president Wilson. 1.

  • Albania the Drafting Process for the 1998 Albanian Constitution, Scott
    THE DRAFTING PROCESS FOR THE 1998 ALBANIAN CONSTITUTION Scott N. Carlson INTRODUCTION With its adoption of a new constitution in 1998, the Republic of Albania joined the ranks of other Central and East European nations who have now adopted democratic constitutions. For Albania, the new constitution provides a historic foundation upon which to forge an independent, democratic future. Throughout recent history, Albania has endured domination and rigid control at the hands of regional powers, and even when independent, the country has suffered under autocracy. The most egregious example of the latter, the Stalinist dictator, Enver Hoxha, led post-World War II Albania into 45 years of exile from the international community. With its adoption of a democratic constitution, Albania took a significant step towards solidifying its democracy and joining the community of nations who rely on constitutions to structure and safeguard their democratic systems of government. While the history of domination and isolation does not fully explain Albania’s delay in the adoption of a new constitution, it does shape the context in which constitutional reform developed. In particular, it helps to explain the lack of constitutional materials in the Albanian language, the lack of familiarity and experience with modern democratic institutions and human rights, and both international and local agreement on the necessity for extensive foreign input. The introduction of a new constitutional system or structure necessarily entails challenges. Even a completely tried and tested system or structure may fail when introduced into a new environment. The process of legal transplantation is a delicate one, and the host state can reject the introduction of foreign legal concepts for a variety of reasons.

  • International Journal of Arts and Humanities
    International Journal of Arts and Humanities ISSN: 2581-3102 Volume:05,Issue:01 “February2021” ALBANIAN OFFICIAL REPRESENTATION AT THE PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE 1919 (POLITICAL AND MEDIA REACTION) Rudina MITA Prof. Assoc. Dr. at the Faculty of Humanities, "Aleksander Xhuvani" University, Elbasan, Republic of Albania https://doi.org/10.46609/IJAH.2021.v05i01.002 ABSTRACT Some events in Albanian historiography have been interpreted in different ways in different periods. Before the 90s of the XX century, in Albania there was the same political force, which had won World War II. This governing force had as a vital principle the expression "We won the war, we write history". History was not compromised in scientific chronological accuracy but in its interpretive mode. Events that contradicted communist ideology were either left in oblivion or distorted in interpretation. One of these events was the participation of the official Albanian Representation in the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on this important historical event for Albania and Albanians. The paper itself aims to present the circumstances in which the official Albanian representation was elected, the participation in this conference, its position, the lobbying carried out in the interest of Albania and the Albanians, and the influence of the pro - Italian wing in it. The article is based on historiographical, memorial and media sources. The methodology used is that based on scientific research and research, as well as comparative methods in the interpretive confrontation of this event within the boundaries of the two Albanian historiographical periods before the "90 and after" 90 of the XX century.

  • Albanian Election 2005 – a New Ruling Elite?
    Albanian Election 2005 – A New Ruling Elite? James Pettifer Conflict Studies Research Centre UK Defence Academy (05/60) October 2005 Introduction The general election of July 2005 in Albania was a major test for the Socialist Party administration of Fatos Nano, which had in one form or another been ruling Albania since 1997. The street turmoil of that year had seen the fall of the Democratic Party government of Sali Berisha. Fatos Nano and his party assumed power in very controversial elections in June 1997. Subsequently, in 2001 the Socialist Party had been returned to power in a disputed election, but with a reduced majority.1 The conduct of that election was a considerable improvement over the 1997 poll. It was nevertheless criticized by the international community representatives in Tirana, and it took several weeks for a final result to emerge after many recounts in some constituencies. In the election this year, the Socialists were peacefully displaced from power, and a Democratic Party led coalition has become the new government. The election in general had a more favourable ‘conduct report’ from the international community than the 2001 poll, despite a number of violent incidents on polling day. A small number of rerun polls necessary in late August went smoothly and without incident. In that sense, the election marks another positive step forward for Albania along the road to integration in Euro- Atlantic institutions. The main issue occupying the International Community (IC) is whether Dr Sali Berisha will be able to run a stable functional government as a result, and what degree of political change can be expected given the number of largely unknown new people in higher posts.

  • The Problem of Real Estate Research Area Selection for the Purpose of Appraisal Process
    www.versita.com/remv THE PROBLEM OF REAL ESTATE RESEARCH AREA SELECTION FOR THE PURPOSE OF APPRAISAL PROCESS Małgorzata Krajewska, Ph.D The Department of Investment and Real Estate Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruniu Department of Geomatics, Geodesy and Spatial Economy University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The following article contributes to the discussion on the issue of the interference of legal regulations on the procedure of real estate appraisal, which is as an economic activity. A special dose of attention is drawn to the selection of the research area of the real estate market. Legal regulations referring to this selection as well as, economic factors based on the preferences of buyers have been described. The application of quality-based methods of marketing has been indicated as a possible means of diagnosing the real estate market, bringing satisfactory results even in the case of limited as well as complex markets, such as suburban areas. On the basis of the Bydgoszcz agglomeration, it was proven that real estate market interference areas do not correlate with the administrative borders of cities or districts. Furthermore, an appraisal of land located in a suburban area of Bydgoszcz was performed twice by varying means, accepting data from different market areas: local (the territory of the commune) and supralocal (the territory of the commune and partially, the city), thus indicating the considerable influence of research area selection on the estimated value. The acquired research results may serve as a starting point for further analyses of other local markets.
