The Effects of Territorial Reform in Albanian Government in 2015: Case Study Gjirokaster County

Abstract

According to the initiation of the classical Albanian politics, the functioning of local government in Albania has been realized in its historical context. This has occasionally resulted in different cartographies of local government in their own way of being organized and their own way of functioning as well. Despite the specific conditions of our country, it naturally needs to revise the model of organizing and functioning of the government by adaptating the model of local government reform. During 2015 such reforms were more than necessary, as far as the inefficiency of local government in services was evident in poor financial conditions.The fragmentation was a real obstacle in investment taking into account the high level of corruption.
