Albania is a unitary parliamentary constitutional republic,in which the president of Albania is the head of state and the prime minister of Albania is the head of government in a multi-party system. The executive power is exercised by the Government and the prime minister with its Cabinet. Legislative power is vested in the Parliament of Albania. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. The political system of Albania is laid out in the 1998 constitution. The Parliament adopted the current constitution on 28 November 1998. Historically Albania has had many constitutions. Initially constituted as a monarchy in 1913,Albania became briefly a republic in 1925,and then a authoritarian monarchy in 1928. In 1939 Albania was invaded by Fascist Italian forces,imposing a puppet state,and later occupied by Nazi German forces. Following the partisan liberation from the Nazis in 1944 a provisional government was formed,which by 1946 had transformed into a communist one-party state. In March 1991 democracy was restored with multi-party elections.

In 1912,Ismail Qemali was inaugurated as the first prime minister of Albania,guiding the nation toward sovereignty amidst the complex conditions in the Balkans. In 1944,Enver Hoxha implemented a radical change in government,transforming Albania into an authoritarian and isolationist communist regime. In 1991,the nation transitioned into a democracy that marked a notable shift,when Fatos Nano emerged as the first post-communist prime minister of Albania.

One year later the Democratic Party of Albania won the new elections. After 1990,Albania has been seeking a closer relationship with the West.

Chaos in late 1996 to early 1997,as a result of the collapse of these pyramid schemes,alarmed the world and prompted the influx of international peacekeeping forces. In 1995,Albania was accepted into the Council of Europe and requested membership in NATO and is a potential candidate country for accession to the European Union. The workforce of Albania has continued to emigrate to Western countries,especially Greece and Italy.
