Kosovo and Albania
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-041-02494-1 (ISBN)
This book offers an original analysis of relations between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Albania, with a particular focus on the 2008–2025 period. It provides an inside perspective bringing together scholarly contributions from academics, researchers, and diplomats from both countries. As Kosovo and Albania are inhabited by an overwhelming majority of ethnic Albanians, relations are fraternal, deep, and extensive, with the two states signing numerous agreements and memoranda in the political, economic, educational, cultural and security fields. This special relationship is explored through innovative and multidisciplinary approaches, thus making the study both timely and relevant.
The book will be of key interest to scholars, diplomats, and students focusing on Political Science, International Relations, History, Kosovo’s foreign policy, Albania’s foreign policy, and Southeast Europe.
Liridon Lika, PhD, is a lecturer and a researcher at the Center for International Relations Studies (CEFIR) in the Department of Political Science at the University of Liège (ULiège) in Belgium.
