Ne studim nuk perfshihen dy prioritete qe lidhen me zgjedhjet, por megjithate vihet ne dukje se pika me e dobet e Shqiperise eshte moszbatimi i kriterit politik, ku eshte bere pak ose aspak progres krahasuar me nje vit me pare. "Kjo për shkak kryesisht dhe thelbësisht të mosvlerësimit të përpjekjeve që kërkohen dhe janë të domosdoshme në ato fusha ku kërkohet dhe progresi varet nga konsensusi politik.

  • The Struggle for Democratic Environmental Governance Around
    The struggle for democratic environmental governance around energy projects in post-communist countries: the role of civil society groups and multilateral development banks by Alda Kokallaj A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Alda Kokallaj Abstract This dissertation focuses on the struggle for democratic environmental governance around energy projects in post-communist countries. What do conflicts over environmental implications of these projects and inclusiveness reveal about the prospects for democratic environmental governance in this region? This work is centred on two case studies, the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline and the Vlora Industrial and Energy Park. These are large energy projects supported by the governments of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Albania, and by powerful international players such as oil businesses, multilateral development banks (MDBs), the European Union and the United States. Analysis of these cases is based on interviews with representatives of these actors and civil society groups, narratives by investigative journalists, as well as the relevant academic literature. I argue that the environmental governance of energy projects in the post-communist context is conditioned by the interplay of actors with divergent visions about what constitutes progressive development. Those actors initiating energy projects are shown to generally have the upper hand in defining environmental governance outcomes which align with their material interests. However, the cases also reveal that the interaction between civil society and MDBs creates opportunities for society at large, and for non-government organizations who seek to represent them, to have a greater say in governance outcomes – even to the point of stopping some elements of proposed projects.

    MOVEMENT FOR THE RENAISSANCE OF NORTHERN EPIRUS OSCE HUMAN DIMENSION IMPLEMENTATION MEETING 16 September - 27 September 2019 Warsaw – Poland Working session 10: Rule of law I, including: – Independence of the judiciary – Democratic law-making – Ensuring equal enjoyment of rights and equal participation in political and public life Contact Persons: Dimitrios Perdikis [email protected] [email protected] On April 28, 2019, six months had passed since the murder of Constantinos Katsifas in the Greek minority village of Vouliarates, Argyrokastro by the Albanian Police Special Forces Unit “Renea”. On that day the extension of the deadline for the Albanian authorities to provide the findings regarding the death of the 35-year-old Greek, according to the Albanian law, expired. It is now close to a year since the Albanian police killed a member of the National Greek Minority who only wanted to exercise his rights in his ancestral land, but unfortunately no official report has been issued by Albanian justice, thus refusing to shed light on the case. Why? We will also never forget the murder of Aristotelis Goumas on August 12, 2010 in Himara by Albanian nationalists, because the victim wanted to speak his mother tongue, Greek, in his home country. The Albanian justice has released the accomplices of the murder on restricted terms, while the driver of the car that repeatedly run over the body of Aristotelis Goumas was sentenced to just 12 years in prison, but did not spend one day in prison. It is also noteworthy that the victim's family was not called on to court and was not formally informed of the decision.

This broader picture of court politics and diplomatic networks – which also relied on familial and kin ties – provides a way of studying the political role of women in early modern Europe. This role has to be studied taking into account the overlapping of familial and political concerns, where the intersection of women as mediators and coordinators of extended networks is a central feature of European societies.

[email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 Albanian State Police in the arduous duty of serving the community and the nation The recent protests in Albania have placed the law enforcement agencies into the spotlight and directly into the public discourse, most of all the Albanian State Police (ASP), the organization in charge for the safeguard of people and institutions during civil protests. During a month long of social unrest, what caught peoples’ attention, apart from the protesters themselves, was the other end of the spectrum - the cordon of State Police exerting their duty in the harsh environment of an irritated crowd and their calls for destabilizing the capital and the country. Two months of protests and ASP February and March has been characterized by political instability and social unrest, mainly in Tirana. The protests of the opposition turned violent in two separate occasions, on February 16th in the Prime Minister’s building and on March 16th in front of the Parliament. The protesters, led by the calls of the opposition to withdraw the government, with circumstantial objects (stones, iron rods, wooden spears and firecrackers among others) and hate rhetoric clashed with the State Police. The ASP did not react until the protesters forced the cordon trying to enter the Parliament building, in that occasion the ASP used lachrymose gas to push back the crowd.
