ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | Albanian history is permeated by myths and mythical narratives that often serve political purposes, from the depiction of the legendary "founder of the nation", Skanderberg, to the exploits of the KLA in the recent Kosovo War. The essays presented here deconstruct prevalent political or historiographical myths about Albania's past and present, brining to light the ways in which Albanian myths have started to justify and direct violence, buttress political power, and foster internal cohesion. The authors demonstrate the power which myths still possess to this day, as they underpin political and social processes in crisis-ridden post-totalitarian Albania. |
