SP Chairman Fatos Nano succeeded corruption, and the strengthening of government at Majko, who himself had come to power in 1998 as local as well as central levels.

    ISSN 2239-978X Journal of Educational and Social Research Vol. 4 No.4 ISSN 2240-0524 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy June 2014 Logos, Ethos and Pathos in Albanian Political Discourse Ardita Dylgjeri, Phd Candidate “Aleksander Xhuvani” University, Elbasan, Albania Email address: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/jesr.2014.v4n4p55 Abstract Over 2,000 years ago the Greek philosopher Aristotle argued that there were three basic ways to persuade an audience of your position: Logos, Ethos, and Pathos. Even though several new attempts and studies have merged within the field of discourse analysis, the Triad persuading approach is still considered and examined as a crucial and inevitable component of political reasoning. By examining several pre-election political discourses in Albania, we will try to highlight the linguistic means, which are used by each politician to present the three dimensions of the argumentative persuasion – Logos, Ethos, and Pathos. In addition, we aim at comparing the ways that different political leaders build rationale and logical discourses; how they present their own personality; what methods they appeal to impact electorate emotionally. Keywords: Logos, Ethos, Pathos, political discourse, argumentation. 1. Introduction Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion. (Aristotle) Every time we use language (in speech or in writing), we engage in a rhetorical act. Whenever we use language, we have an intention: a message to communicate or a goal to achieve. In fact, a useful modern definition of rhetoric is simply the intentional use of language to influence an audience. It is obvious that rhetoric serves as the backbone of the political discourse.

  • Competition Between Minority Ethnic Parties in Post-Conflict Countries
    Competition Between Minority Ethnic Parties in Post-conflict Countries: Performance of Minority Parties in Croatia and Macedonia by Dane Taleski Submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Supervisor: András Bozóki Budapest, September 2014 1 ABSTRACT Academic and policy studies argue that an inclusive approach is needed for sustainable peacebuilding. This justifies the inclusion of former combatants into political parties, but some argue that it can have negative consequences for democratization. Institutional engineering is proposed to forge cross-cutting parties; however it is puzzling to find that parties from rebels often dominate in the post-conflict period. To address this puzzle I look at minority ethnic parties in post-conflict Croatia and Macedonia. SDSS dominates the competition between Serb parties in Croatia and DUI dominates between Albanian parties in Macedonia. To answer why this is so, I first look at the process of their formation and functioning and second I compared them to other minority parties. Despite the common history in Yugoslavia, the inter-ethnic conflicts, the post-conflict conditions and institutional environments for minority politics were very different in Croatia and Macedonia. My level of analysis is the competition between minority parties in each country. Because of the similar outcomes, under varying conditions, I consider that the finding in one country control for the other. Using process tracing I analyzed data from 78 interviews, party content, media and archival sources. The findings were corroborated with quantitative analysis of electoral data from national and sub- national elections in the entire post-conflict period.

  • Parliamentary Elections Held on May 26Th, 1996 in Albania and the Political Crises They Caused Dr
    American Research Journal of History and Culture Volume 6, Issue 1, 1-9 + Research Article | Open Access ISSN (Online)- 2379-2914 Parliamentary elections held on May 26th, 1996 in Albania and the political crises they caused Dr. Adelina Nexhipi* & Phd. candidate Erjon Nexhipi* *Lecturer, Faculty of Education and Philology, University “Fan S. Noli” Korce, Albania *Lecturer, Faculty of Ecomomy, University “Fan S. Noli” Korce, Albania ABSTRACT Parliamentary elections of May 26th, 1996 in Albania were held in a deeply polarized political environment; they were associated with multiple tensions during the pre-election period, the Election Day and post-election period as well. The voting process and the results of the elections were opposed by the oppositions and criticized by the international institutions. Election processes in post-communist Albania have been associated continuously with multiple legal, procedural, administrating problems, but May 26th elections, as never seen before, were declared publicly and decisively as against election standards, Government’s responsibilities and political interventions in the process as stated by the international observers. According to them, 32 out of 79 election law’s articles were violated. The elections qualified as “a step backwards to the democratization process”, deepened the political crisis in Albania and ignored major problems already prevailing in Albania. This paper attempts to describe, analyze and evaluate the parliamentary elections held in May 26th, 1996 as seen from a legal, procedural and political point of view and their effects on political crisis in Albania. To reach this objective, the present descriptive - analytical paper was prepared through researching, synthetizing and analyzing efforts and based on documents and reports of Albanian and international institutions, studies conducted by Albanian and foreign scholars, testimonials and interviews of the protagonists, etc.

  • Nurturing Client-Based Media Practices
    STATE-MEDIA FINANCIAL RELATIONS IN ALBANIA NURTURING CLIENT-BASED MEDIA PRACTICES by ILDA LONDO INTRODUCTION Albanian legislation does not specify any provisions whatsoever dealing with state support and funding of the media, not even in terms of protecting me- dia pluralism or supporting minorities or specific communities. Nonetheless, speculation about unfair and non-transparent distribution of state advertising has never ceased. In 2013, an independent investigation proved that most of the claims about unfair distribution of state advertising were true.1 The investiga- tion showed that the state spent at least 780,000 euro between June 2012 and the end of 2013 on TV advertising, with the bulk of this sum going to TV sta- tions and agencies owned by or tied to one person, whose media provided fa- vourable coverage to the government at the time.2 “The publication of such data clearly reveals both the unfair awarding of advertisements for state institutions to the media close to the government and the lack of transparency in distrib- uting these funds.”3 Apart from commercial advertising, public funds have also been used to advertise in the media or to organise campaigns that have benefit- ed media owners, which is in line with government regulations on the organi- sation of public campaigns. State funding of the media is far from transparent. Although certain as- pects of the process of financial distribution have become more visible and searchable, thanks to online databases, the process has also become more re- fined and it is more difficult to track down the money that ends up with media outlets.

    Manifesto Project Dataset List of Political Parties [email protected] Website: https://manifesto-project.wzb.eu/ Version 2020a from July 22, 2020 Manifesto Project Dataset - List of Political Parties Version 2020a 1 Coverage of the Dataset including Party Splits and Merges The following list documents the parties that were coded at a specific election. The list includes the name of the party or alliance in the original language and in English, the party/alliance abbreviation as well as the corresponding party identification number. In the case of an alliance, it also documents the member parties it comprises. Within the list of alliance members, parties are represented only by their id and abbreviation if they are also part of the general party list. If the composition of an alliance has changed between elections this change is reported as well. Furthermore, the list records renames of parties and alliances. It shows whether a party has split from another party or a number of parties has merged and indicates the name (and if existing the id) of this split or merger parties. In the past there have been a few cases where an alliance manifesto was coded instead of a party manifesto but without assigning the alliance a new party id. Instead, the alliance manifesto appeared under the party id of the main party within that alliance. In such cases the list displays the information for which election an alliance manifesto was coded as well as the name and members of this alliance. 2 Albania ID Covering Abbrev Parties No. Elections
