Description

At the beginning of the 1990s, Albania appeared to be a shining star in Central and Eastern Europe, with encouraging GDP growth and fulfilment of international requirements suggesting a bright economic future. Yet in 1997, this progress reversed dramatically, triggering unprecedented institutional, political and social turmoil that spiralled into violence and chaos. This comprehensive book from Edward Elgar Publishing presents, for the first time, an in-depth analysis of the different factors behind Albania's 1997 political, economic and social upheaval. The work demonstrates that the crisis was both predictable and complex, offering scholars, economists and policy makers a detailed examination of how institutional weakness, political mismanagement and social fragmentation combined to unravel a nation's promising trajectory. Essential reading for anyone studying Eastern European economic history, transition economies or post-Cold War geopolitical shifts.

Key Features

Edward Elgar Publishing offers a comprehensive analysis of Albania's 1997 crisis factors across political, economic and social dimensions.

The book presents the first detailed examination of how Albania's institutional structures contributed to the nation's dramatic upheaval.

Explores the predictable nature of the crisis rather than treating it as an unexpected or inevitable event in Central and Eastern Europe.

Provides essential context for understanding the transition period and economic conditions that followed the 1990s shining star narrative.

Designed for economics scholars, policy analysts and students studying post-Cold War Eastern European economic history and institutional collapse.
