This study examines the youth of the Roma minority in Albania, investigating perceptions and attitudes regarding their political (dis)engagement and participation, as well as issues of intersectionality in shaping respective patterns. Utilizing a mixed methods model, a survey is followed by individual in…
“Our migrant” and “the other migrant”
The expansion of research on migration over recent decades has neglected sending and transit countries. Whether in terms of their internal development, their diaspora policy, their shift from primarily sending countries to (potential) transit or destination countries, or the issue of return migration and reintegration into home societies – all these topics deserve further exploration. This paper seeks to redress this by examining Albania, a sendi…

A number of those remaining in Greece wish to retire upon return to Albania, or prefer to remain in Greece if they manage to retire there…
Return Migration and Human Rights in Albania
Homeland (Dis)Integrations
Based on empirical research conducted in Albania, this article reports that educational experience and performance, and hence, integration of the children of (returned) migrants in their parents' homeland is obstructed by structural factors linked to the educational system.
