Die Demokratieförderung der EU in Albanien

  • This thesis investigates the European Union’s (EU) recent support for democracy-building in its candidate country Albania. Emphasis is put on the development in two particular fields of action: public administration reform (1) and development of civil society (2). The publications of the EU-specific ‘Instrument for Pre-Accession’ (IPA) between 2007 and 2015 provide the most relevant sources for analysis and argumentation. In a first step, the EU’s declared goals and expected effects as formulated in these IPA reports are analysed. In a second step, a comparison between these expectations and goals on the one hand and the evaluation of the EU’s progress reports on the other hand points to cur-rent improvements as well as remaining challenges with regard to democracy-building in Albania. While it can be argued that progress has been achieved in both fields of action, public administration and civil society, several fundamental concerns remain so far unre-solved. Three big issues currently still impede theThis thesis investigates the European Union’s (EU) recent support for democracy-building in its candidate country Albania.

While it can be argued that progress has been achieved in both fields of action, public administration and civil society, several fundamental concerns remain so far unre-solved. Three big issues currently still impede the further support and development of democracy in Albania: the historical legacy of the communist regime, the unwillingness of the political elite to reform fundamental structures and institutions as well as the approach of the EU itself that requires the acquisition of traditional Western models of democracy.show moreshow less
