Since the demise of Communism, Albanians have been extremely
exposed to the forces of the liberal market economy and the
turbulence of globalization. No other country in this region of
Europe has experienced such tremendous social and economic
transformations. The contributions in this book tackle important
areas of change in Albania, from both contemporary and historical
perspectives. The book focuses on the political, legal, and
administrative dimensions; on various effects of migration; on
changing family and kinship relations; and on the transformation of
gender positions. (Series: Studies on South East Europe - Vol. 15)
The collapse of the Ottoman Empire resulted in the birth of new
nation states in the Balkans in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. "Conflicting Loyalties in the Balkans"
explores the effects of the Ottoman reform era upon Balkan
societies in order to shed much-needed light on the history of this
region during the early nation-state period. Focusing on
developments which go beyond the over-researched dimension of
political or elite discourse, this book offers insights into the
complex ways in which Balkan societies were transformed from
different regional viewpoints -- focusing on the interplay between
Great Power politics, state reforms and social dynamics on the
ground. A thorough investigation of the conflicting loyalties which
has shaped the political framework of the post-Ottoman Balkans,
this is an important and fascinating insight into the logic and
contradictions of daily life in a crucial period of Balkan and
Ottoman history.
