Abstract:
This study has a modest contribution in the discourse of democratization process for
the post-communist countries from a perspective of political culture. Through the empirical
analyses and findings in this research, I intend to find out the correlation that political
culture has on the development of democratization process in Albania.
Albania is an yuncommon icase istudy for istudying idemocratic iconsolidation since
the icountry has a idistinct ipolitical ihistory, ia isui igeneris icase. This indicates that the
icountry's ihistory over the iprevious few idecades has been imarked by multiple
igovernment itransitions from iautocratic to idemocratic, with each losing idemocratic
qualities and so ifailing to iconsolidate idemocracy.
Furthermore, I am convinced that in order to proceed toward a consolidated
democracy, we must first identify the variables that have the potential to influence the
process. My objective is to focus solely on Albania's progress over these years of transition
in order to expose variables such as political culture.
