This book aims to enhance transitional justice studies focusing on the Balkan peninsula by providing a comparative analysis of the extent of transitional justice mechanisms in Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. With the fall of military dictatorships in Latin America in the 1980s, the breakup of the Soviet Union, and the emergence of new states in the 1990s, the concept of Transitional Justice (TJ) saw a significant rise in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This was further propelled by the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989), the prolonged breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992), and the fall of the communist dictatorship in Albania (1990). The emergence of new states and the state-building processes that followed the political and social changes also brought new challenges and conflicts. However, they marked the end of significantly repressive political regimes. Considering that the implementation of TJ has undergone several changes over time and is dependent on the different settings in which it was employed, it is necessary to conduct extensive comparative research to determine the extent to which TJ differs in post-communist and post-conflict nations. The study has developed three main hypotheses: (1) the limited achievement of lustration law in Albania has conditioned the current status of transitional justice, (2) the state-building process has contributed to the evolution of Transitional Justice in Kosovo, and (3) the power-sharing process as a TJ pillar in North Macedonia has fueled TJ in the country. Using a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through elite interviews conducted in the three countries with 44 representatives from academia, politics, media, and civil society. Other data were collected from a public survey specifically conducted to analyze Albania as a case study for this book.
