Abstract
Political parties were established as a result of different societies ‘articulated needs, and for this reason they are a product of different processes of changing societies. This means that with the advance and development of the society there came to surface the interests of different groups. As a support to these interests, also because of the political development, we have the creation of ideologies, of the political parties, starting with the interests of land owners, industrialists, syndicates and up to environmental issues. The appearance of different interests groups, have made it possible for political parties to play an irreplaceable role in the establishment of democracy. As so, this dissertation mainly deals with the relevant political Albanian parties’ programs in the Western Balkans.
Therefore, during the research there will be shown three topics, or to be more precise the purpose of this research is focused mainly on social, ethnic and Euro-Atlantic component.
