This article investigates the political controversies related to the
role the international community plays and should play in
contemporary Albanian politics through an analysis of the media
accounts of the January 21, 2011 demonstration. We analyse
opinion articles in the mainstream media and find that there are
two representations of the political reality that compete for
legitimacy: one in favour of the government and the other
against it. The picture that emerges from the media accounts is
that events, political action and political personalities are subject
to the perceived judgement of external actors, whose
confirmation or support is taken as the legitimizing factor. Thus,
the accepted patterns of power put the international community
at the top, from where they control, monitor, confirm or refute
political elites. The alternative representation criticizes
international intervention as a deterrent to the democratization
processes in Albania.
