ANALYSIS OF THE POLITICAL CHANGES IN THE MIGRATION OF ALBANIANS TO ITALY BETWEEN 1912 TO 2020

Abstract

This paper extensively examines the mutual connection between Albania and Italy, with a primary emphasis on migration policy during the 20th and early 21st centuries. The study utilises a multidisciplinary method to identify important challenges and prospects within the relationship between migration and development for both nations. The paper emphasises Italy's need to integrate migration and development strategies to produce a more coherent and effective approach. The study emphasises the pressing requirement in Albania for an administrative framework that fosters the inflow of investments and enhances collaboration with local governments. Additionally, it examines the insufficiency of current seasonal work programs designed for this specific pair of countries and supports using other context-specific methods, such as transnational entrepreneurship training. The paper provides practical suggestions to promote migration policies that support development and can benefit Albania and Italy
