Abstract

Living in a new Democratic regime, most of us, we, the people who live in Western Balkan country like Albania, we may wonder: Does democracy enhance the quality of our everyday life? Numerous researchers have accepted that is does, even though recent researchers have raised their question about this. As transitional democracy Albania is yet suffering from many diseases in economic, politic, and social aspects, and are mostly characterized by lacking progress in further development. This research study focus on finding the correlation of democracy in Albania with, rule of law, human rights, and the human development based on the global Indexes from 2013 to 2021. The focus of this study goes further into describing how Albanian citizens perceive the democratic development of Albania, the development of rule of law, the development of human rights, and human development in the last 8 years. Through calculated measures from a time period of 8 years, and from the responses of Albanian citizens, we will be able to test the null hypothesis (h0): Democratic Development in Albania, has increased the Rule of Law, increased Human Development, and has increased Human Rights. The examination is reached out through correlation matrix methods, OLS regression analysis, SPSS analysis, and content analysis. Primarily from the investigations of this study resulted that democracy development in Albania has a negative correlation with development of the rule of law, according to the global Indexes data’s. There was found a non-statistically significant positive correlation between democratic development in Albania and human rights, including human development. iii Secondary the investigations of this study resulted that Albania citizens do not agree with the fact that democracy has developed in last decade, nor they agree with the development of rule of law over the last 8 years, neither do they agree with the fact that human rights or human development in Albania have increased over the last 8 years.
