Political culture, language and the use of voting rights in North Macedonia
Session
Political Science
Description
Cultural politic and language are the two fundamental areas of a state where excluding culture from politics and vice versa is very dangerous to the health of a nation. While the politics is the external and structural form of building a state or nation, culture and language are the inner essence that give its spirit and identity. Voter turnout is an indicator of the level of interest and civic participation in political decision-making, competitive party offerings, and civic trust in political actors. Extensive participation, when it comes to a competitive system, significantly increases the responsibility of political actors for civic demands and concerns. This paper is interested with how different systems enfranchise or disenfranchise voting of ethnicities in North Macedonia and Albania and how do ethnic voters chose? Do ethnic considerations lead to re-election of political leaders previously ousted on charges of corruption and mismanagement?

Political culture, language and the use of voting rights in North Macedonia
Pristina, Kosovo
Cultural politic and language are the two fundamental areas of a state where excluding culture from politics and vice versa is very dangerous to the health of a nation. While the politics is the external and structural form of building a state or nation, culture and language are the inner essence that give its spirit and identity. Voter turnout is an indicator of the level of interest and civic participation in political decision-making, competitive party offerings, and civic trust in political actors. Extensive participation, when it comes to a competitive system, significantly increases the responsibility of political actors for civic demands and concerns. This paper is interested with how different systems enfranchise or disenfranchise voting of ethnicities in North Macedonia and Albania and how do ethnic voters chose? Do ethnic considerations lead to re-election of political leaders previously ousted on charges of corruption and mismanagement?
