Constructing the Albanian Nation through Discourse Continuity and Change in Three Periods in Modern History of Albania Sulstarova, Enis; Köksal, Pınar (2008-01-01) This article analyzes the continuity and change in the nationalist discourse in Albania during the three periods of its modern history, National Awakening (1878-1912), Communism (1944-1990), and Post-Communism (1990-2002) by looking at the three basic approaches of the literature on ethnic studies: primordialism, circumstantialism, and constructionism.

In this theoretical perspective, this study analyzes discourses of the labor confederations in four historical moments called Janua...

Old and New Problems in the Balkans and Marxism Türkeş, Mustafa (2018-12-01) Efforts to determine the place of Marxism in the Balkans in a historical manner seem to enable us to outline not only the historical importance of Marxism but also to point out more precisely its relevance with contemporary problems and possible solutions in the Balkans. In order to outline very briefly the place of Marxism in the Balkans, this paper first seeks to discuss the old (late 19th, early 20th) and new (late 20th, early 21st century) common problems people in the Balkans encountered with a view to...
