"AMALGAMATION" WITHIN THE THEORY OF UKSHIN HOTI, IN TODAY'S GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT AND THE POSITION OF THE ALBANIAN NATION

Faton MURSELI

Abstract

This research aims to highlight the concept of "Amalgamation" that the philosopher Ukshin Hoti treats in his work "Political philosophy of the Albanian national issue" as a principle of proletarian political thought led by Stalin, which aims at the internationalization, whose goal was to establish the principle of the "free will of self-determination of nations" so that they can create their own independent state, remains part of another state or establish federal relations. Certainly, "amalgamation" essentially meant the latter, which would reflect a political expansion of the then USSR. This is based on the creation of a multinational state. In the identical form, and in the same political concept, we believe is the conflict which is taking place today between Russia and Ukraine, where the theory of "amalgamation" has been activated again, giving the right that through the referendum, some parts of Ukraine "expressed themselves freely their will" to create their own state or to become part of another state. In this research, through content analysis, the geopolitical negativities that this political theory brings and the war that is already visible between the East and the West in the context of this research between Europe and the Russian Federation will be analyzed. In this context, through the analysis of the theories of the provenance of the West, or of the state as an international subject, coming to the function of democracy, we will clarify the political positioning of the Albanian nation. Was the Yugoslavian context for Albanians similar to the "amalgamation" of the east, and in this context what would be the vital interests of the nation?
