Abstract: Drawing upon components from inventory models of globalization, this paper aims to contribute to the presenting influence of globalization in Albania region, using data from national and international sources. Like many other developing countries, Albania could not be conditioned by the existence of a process such as globalization, which found Albania as a post-communist country that in 90s had just been confronted with the challenges of a fragile democracy. Being completely vulnerable to changes and pressures that the international community offered to them, this society has lost the selection ability. The purpose of this paper is to observe both the negative and the positive impacts of globalization on Albania. Furthermore, it attempts to suggest some recommendations among which are to assist in developing democratization process and improving the quality of life.
