The Commodification of Otherness and the Ethnic Unit in the Balkans: How to Think about Albanians

• This article challenges the representations of Albanians in the context of larger European interventions during the 1990s. The use of descriptive typologies to frame analysis and inform policies results in undermining indigenous actors' abilities to contribute to the shaping of their present and future states. The resulting anxieties lead to many to adopt the underlying racist ontologies fermented often in a past era of colonialist social science work.
