A glimpse of change in Albania's post-communist countryside

Auteur :
LEMEL, H.

Description :
Focusing on an area near Tirana (Vagarr komuna), the article examines how rural life and agricultural patterns have been evolving since 1990/91. How have villagers been adjusting to their post-communist reality ? In particular, how have they been using and investing in their recently acquired lands ? Some of the more notable changes reported, include dramatic increases in livestock and dairy activity. The study also reveals that tenure insecurity over land parcels allotted in 1991-92, but not owned prior to collectivization has been seriously dampening investment. - (L'A.).
