Albania in Transition: The Rocky Road to Democracy FROM THE PUBLISHER
In Albania in Transition, Elez Biberaj provides a comprehensive political profile of Albania since 1989. He charts Albania's transition from one party to many, from a command economy to a market economy, and its transition to a national security state in an unpredictable, post-Cold War international security regime.

The chief of the Voice of America's Albanian Service since 1986 charts the country's transition from one-party to multiparty politics and from a command to a market economy from unpromising beginnings in 1989 to the uprisings and elections after the collapse of a pyramid fraud impoverished many in early 1997. He also explores what the landslide victory at those elections of the opposition Socialist Party might mean for Albanians living in Kosova and in Greece and for the future of democratic elections.
