Political Regime and Electoral System in Albania: A Century after The First Parliamentary Republic
Abstract
The article compares features of the political regime and electoral system between the first parliamentary republic in Albania from 1925 – 1928 and the democratic system of 2025. The analysis employs a comparative approach to search for similarities and differences between the two periods and also to map residual features in today’s politics. The research considers components of political power, level of democracy, electoral process, governance, leadership and political parties’ control, and citizens’ participation. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of certain modern political dynamics and thereby offer insight for further development of a stronger pluralist and democratic system.
