By, MSc. Albert PLLUMBI

Abstract

In recent decades, security has become a concept that relates to every aspect of our lives due to its expansion and deepening and its relation to many areas of society. Security challenges faced by societies today are of different natures and forms, including weak governance structures, organized crime, corruption, and non-implementation of strategies. Albania, in particular, has faced many challenges and a negative international image due to these problems. This paper aims to provide an overview of the security challenges that Albania has encountered since the 1990s, by analyzing them separately and explaining the strategies, tools, and methods Albania uses to respond to these challenges. Additionally, the paper identifies the bilateral and multilateral agreements that Albania has signed with some Balkan countries and relevant allies in the international arena concerning common security. Through an analysis of strategies, legal frameworks, and measures taken to meet and overcome security challenges, this study attempts to answer the questions posed. The analysis is based on literature research, relevant publications in the security field of study, and laws and strategies on the evolution of security challenges in Albania.
