TIRANA, Dec. 10 – Researcher Blendi Kajsiu held a lecture this week at the Tirana Times bookstore focusing on his latest book “A Discourse Analysis of Corruption.”
Looking at corruption through a post-structuralist discourse analysis perspective, this book argues that the dominant corruption discourse in Albania served primarily to institute the neoliberal order rather than eliminate corruption.
“Anti-corruption discourses have long been at the centre of both academic debates and policy proposals in the Western Balkans. Focusing on the case of Albania, Kajsiu’s excellent book offers a lucidly argued and sophisticated critique of the way in which such discourses have served to legitimise a neo-liberal order detrimental to an authentic renewal of the democratic public spirit,” says Lea Ypi from London School of Economics and Political Science in the book review.
Blendi Kajsiu holds a Ph.D. in Ideology and Discourse Analysis from the University of Essex, United Kingdom.
