Identity of Political Parties in Albania

In this book, ideological confusion is explained based on the structural-functionalist perspective. Analysis of the phenomenon in question focuses mainly on the interdependence created between the deeply-social factors of and political discourse. This analysis is undertaken to better understand the circumstances that condition political parties on representing social categories in different social contexts and on showing the implications of political identity building based on the type of discourse used by the political actors. This line of reasoning establishes a logical connection of a certain number of variables. Since the politics is related to many aspects of society and decisions for the authoritative allocation of values in society are affected by economic, cultural, social, geographical, psychological factors, etc. Thus, each of the political forces uses its discourse with elements of the Right and the Left, as a result of internal and external factors.
