Institutions Matter a Qualitative Case Study Analysis of the Institutional Capacities of Albania in Relation to the Utilization of the EU Funds STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY Department of Economic History and International Relations Master's Thesis in International Relations with specialization in Global Political Economy Spring Term 2021 Student: Ardit Hysa Supervisor: Akhil Malaki Institutions matter A qualitative case study analysis of the institutional capacities of Albania in relation to the utilization of the EU funds. Keywords: New Institutional Economics, Albania, Accession, Informal Institutions, Kanun, EU funds 1 Abstract This dissertation is a case study of Albania regarding the influence institutions have over the utilization of the EU financial aid, more specifically, the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance II (IPA II) for the period of 2014-2020. Albania has been struggling with EU accession despite the allocation of numerous funds in the form of development programs for several years. The study attempts to identify the endogenous obstacles to development and the utilization of funds due to both formal and informal institutions. The reviewed literature shows a clear correlation between economic growth and good quality institutions. Besides, it indicates that informal institutions play a major role in the development process. Therefore the role of the Kanun in Albania is examined. As defined by mainly Douglas North, the New Institutional Economics theory is used to dive into Albania’s formal and informal institutions and discover how those determine the politico- economic and social structures. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine key participants who work in IPA II projects at the local level across the country. The country was divided into three regions in order to identify variations in the role of IPA II funds, institutions, and degree of development. Before the analysis is done and the results are presented, the historical background of the three key historical periods of the country, Ottoman, Communist and Democracy, is provided to set the base of the origin of present institutions. The results from the interviews and the macro-economic indicators of the three regions show a correlation between good defined formal institutions and economic growth and strong informal institutions and stagnation, as the theory suggested. 2 Table of Contents 1.

  • Leviathan on Paper and Party Patronage in Practice: Contested Civil Service Reforms in Albania and Macedonia 2000-2010
    Leviathan on paper and party patronage in practice: contested civil service reforms in Albania and Macedonia 2000-2010. Nisida Gjoksi European University Institute [email protected] Paper presented at the 2015 Political Studies Association Conference, Sheffield, United Kingdom. Abstract After the end of the Soviet Union, many post-communist countries have attempted to reform their bureaucratic structures with the twin-goal of reducing political interferences in personnel procedures while increasing their civil servants' professionalization. However, such reforms observed remarkably different results. According to the existing scholarship, two factors should account for such variation: historical legacies (type of administrations) and political competition during the transition period. In this article I first provide a new conceptualization of bureaucratic reforms that, in contrast to the previous works, better grasps the role of politics. Second, I argue that such variation is a product of two factors. On the one hand, the more political parties' organizational strength lies outside the boundaries of the state, the more the country is likely to professionalize and de-politicize their public administrations. On the other hand, ethnical cleavages impede the emergence of party mass mobilization external to the state. The more parties will use ethnical cleavages in their mobilization of power, the more they use the state for particularistic ends and the less they will push for bureaucratic reforms. In order to test my hypotheses I assess the three cycles of civil service reforms between Albania and Macedonia from 2000-2010, and develop an index of politicization and competence that shows the trade-off between professionalization and politicization of the state across the ministries in the countries.

LANDMINES CONTINUE TO EFFECT MANY COMMUNITIES WELL AFTER HOSTILITIES HAVE CEASED; ONE THIRD OF ALL VICTIMS ARE CHILDREN. THE PRESENCE OF LANDMINES CAN ALSO HINDER THE REDEVELOPMENT OF A COUNTRY AND ITS ECONOMY FOR MANY YEARS AFTER A CONFLICT. THERE ARE ESTIMATED TO BE OVER 70 MILLION LANDMINES IN THE GROUND IN AT LEAST 90 COUNTRIES. LANDMINES REPORTEDLY MAIM OR KILL 19,000 CIVILIANS EVERY YEAR.

LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN LANDMINE-AFFECTED COUNTRIES OFTEN DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURC- ES TO CLEAR THEIR OWN LAND AND TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE CARE FOR THEIR LANDMINE SURVIVORS.

    Description of the organization: The Institute for Environmental Policy (IEP) is a non-governmental, non-profit environmental organization founded in November 2008. IEP's general objective is to enhance environmental sustainability in Albania through the implementation of projects aimed to raise awareness among the local population and to formulate environmentally friendly policies in collaboration with local and national authorities. IEP was founded by a group of young experts committed to bringing about positive change after years of environmental degradation and negligence in Albania. IEP members are highly motivated and have the required experience and education to influence the Albanian society towards a sound environmental protection and sustainable living. In its activities, IEP frequently cooperates with other NOGs, local and international experts and volunteers from the local youth. EP has implemented various projects and activities and has experience in awareness raising, trainings, seminars, campaigns and working with youth; this is done connecting different spheres of the Albanian society with a particular attention at the sustainability of activities and processes. IEP has also implemented several public actions on pollution and environmental sustainability with the help of young volunteers in the Tirana area and other regions of Albania and is now considered a leading NGO in Albania in supporting the development of sustainable lifestyles and green economy. IEP was a partner organization with Ethical Links during the "Developing green skills and behaviors" Youth Exchange, organized in Estonia in June 2013. IEP is currently working with local and international young volunteers in IEP, (currently there are two EVS volunteers from Italy, project 2014-3-IT03-KA105-005030), training them on how to manage projects, teaching them environmental management, and is also helping them in learning new foreign languages (in the case of foreign volunteers, the staff of IEP is teaching them Albanian).
