"Tourism governance in post-war transition: the case of Kosova" Shqiperim Reka A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Sheffield Hallam University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2017 Abstract The aim of this research study was to examine tourism governance in post-war transition with specific reference to the influence of political, economic and social factors, institutional arrangements, collaboration and power relations. Within this context, a crucial objective was to assess the role of mindset. Reviewing the literature in relation to the key concepts, it was discovered that research tends to focus on political and economic transition, whereas the social dimension, despite its importance, is largely neglected. Similarly, tourism governance has been overlooked in studies of tourism in post-war transition. Furthermore, the literature on tourism governance rarely takes the issue of mindset into account. To address these gaps in knowledge, a qualitative research approach was applied to study tourism governance in post-war transitional Kosova.

TRADE AND SMUGGLING Maria Pia PEDANI University Ca'Foscari of Venice, Department of Historical Studies, I-30123 Venezia, Dorsoduro 3484/d e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT th In the 15 century sultans discovered the economic importance of the Adriatic. th They accepted doges' rule on this sea but, at the end of the 16 century, the presence of Christian and Muslim pirates marred the relations between the two states. Ottoman merchants used to cross the Adriatic to reach the markets of Venice and Ancona. Be- sides regular trade there was also smuggling: above all arms were exported to the Empire while wheat went westwards. Several links united the two commercial commu- nities: for instance, subjects of the Republic embarked sometimes on Ottoman ships; in the ports of the Serenissima the sultan's merchants used to pay the same customs as Venetians and, sometimes, they also insured themselves with Venetian companies. The th wars of the end of the 17 century put a momentary stop to Muslim commercial activi- ties in Venice and in the Adriatic. However, at the beginning of the following century, Albanian vessels charged with Ottoman goods appeared again at St. Mark's docks, even if soon after, in the 1720s', short-sighted Venetian protectionist politics pushed them to prefer the port of Trieste.

  • Albanian Families' History and Heritage Making at the Crossroads of New
    Voicing the stories of the excluded: Albanian families’ history and heritage making at the crossroads of new and old homes Eleni Vomvyla UCL Institute of Archaeology Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor in Philosophy in Cultural Heritage 2013 Declaration of originality I, Eleni Vomvyla confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature 2 To the five Albanian families for opening their homes and sharing their stories with me. 3 Abstract My research explores the dialectical relationship between identity and the conceptualisation/creation of history and heritage in migration by studying a socially excluded group in Greece, that of Albanian families. Even though the Albanian community has more than twenty years of presence in the country, its stories, often invested with otherness, remain hidden in the Greek ‘mono-cultural’ landscape. In opposition to these stigmatising discourses, my study draws on movements democratising the past and calling for engagements from below by endorsing the socially constructed nature of identity and the denationalisation of memory. A nine-month fieldwork with five Albanian families took place in their domestic and neighbourhood settings in the areas of Athens and Piraeus. Based on critical ethnography, data collection was derived from participant observation, conversational interviews and participatory techniques. From an individual and family group point of view the notion of habitus led to diverse conceptions of ethnic identity, taking transnational dimensions in families’ literal and metaphorical back- and-forth movements between Greece and Albania.

[email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 Second CIIE and Albania’s position Introduction Albanian business circles are very diligent when selecting and attending exhibitions and trade fairs. Being a country that imports much more than exports, the main target of the country’s entrepreneurs has been export exhibitions all around the world, however, this trend is has started to shift since some Albanian businesses started to flourish in local production. This trend developed mainly at the start of the new millennium when after a decade of open economy, Albanians realized that there were opportunities of local production in a multitude of areas and the most resilient of them started capitalizing on the Albania’s most important comparative advantages: low labor cost and untapped natural resources. The initial Albanian exports were targeting neighboring countries of the Balkans, Turkey, Italy and Germany, in short, countries with which Albanian enterprises were familiar with. Later on, Albanian-made products could be found in North and South America, Russia, Scandinavian countries and so on. For years People’s Republic of China has been perceived from Albanian enterprises exclusively as a market to import from, in fact Chinese commodities have an overwhelming presence in the country’s households, industrial settings, apparel stores and many more.

  • BJES Italian Language Curriculum Versus Labour Market Challenges
    BJES Dr. Aida Gjinali University of Tirana Faculty of Foreign Languages Department of Italian language [email protected] Dr. Diana Kastrati, University of Tirana Faculty of Foreign Languages Department of Italian language [email protected] Italian language curriculum versus labour market challenges Abstract The purpose of this research is to emphasize the issues that arise from the actual application of Italian language curriculum versus nowadays labour market challeng- es that are met in Albania and abroad, and to offer possible solutions related to it. In this research we are going to present a summarized overview of the Italian lan- guage curriculum for both existing studies’ cycles in the Faculty of Foreign Lan- guages, of the development of this language in the Albanian framework, a summa- rized overview on the Italian or Italian-Albanian enterprises operating in our country and the employment needs they have. It is a well-known fact that the Italian language cannot be considered an instrumental language; therefore, there are encountered dificulties in studying, acknowledging and using it within this framework. From the surveys carried on with irst year stu- dents in our faculty, there is noticed a lack of motivation from their part in studying Italian, a very signiicant indicator which emphasizes the dificulties this language faces while functioning as a labour language in a labour market. Of course, this will result in a drastic reduction in the number of students who want to study Italian, and a decrease in the quality of students who will apply in our faculty in the upcoming years. It is true that the average marks of students learning Italian has been that of a decreasing trend.

  • Singing Back the Kurbetlli – Responses to Migration in Albanian Folk Culture As a Culturally Innovative Practice
    Eckehard Pistrick: Singing back the kurbetlli – Responses to migration in Albanian folk culture as a culturally innovative practice Singing back the kurbetlli – Responses to migration in Albanian folk culture as a culturally innovative practice Eckehard Pistrick Martin-Luther-University Halle/Université Paris-Ouest-Nanterre, [email protected] Abstract The massive ‘brain-drain’ which has afflicted Albania after 1991 in almost all cultural fields affected also to a large respect the folk culture. A state-sponsored system of cultural houses spread all over the country collapsed. State-supported folk culture ceased to exist for a transitional period. Villages with a once vibrant tradition of multipart singing became emptied and muted, without songs. The cultural landscape had to reorganise itself. Within this process of the reorganisation of cultural institutions returning migrants played a decisive role. Money from returning migrants resulted in the creation of mostly privately sponso- red shoqeritë, promoting regional cultural heritage. The social absence of the migrants became culturally felt. The folk repertoire of songs turned into a tool for responding and commenting on human loss as well as on tragic events such as the drowning of Albanian migrants in the Strait of Otranto 1997 or the hijacking of Flamur Pisli 1999. The leading figures of this culturally highly innovative practice were local intellectuals calledrapsods who tried to relate the nostalgic mythistory of kurbet before the 2nd World War with the actual mass migration through a shared emotionality. Through a highly effective use of metaphors and performance devices taken from oral folk poetry and the repertoire of death laments they show the ability to react and comment on the present migrations and to fix them in the memory of the community.
