How historical narratives shape reform outcomes in the military and judiciary, by Elvin Gjevori

  • This study analyzes why institutional reforms in post-communist Albania have produced different outcomes. While the military was successfully institutionalized and gradually depoliticized, the judicial system remained politicized and less effective.

 

  • The study argues that these differences are linked to how political elites interpret the past. Through an analysis of media coverage from 1992 to 2010, it shows that judicial reform remained consistently politicized, while military reform became increasingly less so.
