Public Policy and Governance in Albania

By, Prof. Dr. Xhezair ZAGANJORI

Dear readers,

After a three-year break, we are continuing the law review periodical “Jus & Justicia” of the European University of Tirana. This journal will now have a new format, only in English, – Justicia. The aim is to broaden the spectrum of our readers to also include a larger international audience. In this number of “Ius & Justicia” we delve into the nuanced challenges and shortcomings that continue to shape Albania’s path in terms of public policy and governance. After the fall of the communist regime in 1990, the country embarked on a journey toward a brighter future and has made commendable progress in its efforts to strengthen democratic institutions, enhance transparency, and improve the lives of its citizens. Nevertheless, while progress has been made, it is imperative to confront the pressing issues that continue to hinder Albania’s journey towards effective governance and policy implementation. These critical issues demand scrutiny and thoughtful consideration.
