(1) The Nash Albanian Studies Programme is resuming this academic year.
If you happen to be in London, you are very welcome to attend any of the
public seminars announced below. I hope you will use the Albanian Studies
International Registry of Scholars in the Social Sciences and the
Humanities for information on international scholarly work on Albania.
You will find it on http://www.ssees.ac.uk/registry.htm. You may also
enter your own details on a questionnaire downloaded from this site. We
aim to provide an updated version of the International Registry on the
internet as soon as possible. Please send any new information you would
like included to me before November 30, 1999.

In the future postal circulars will cease and there will be only
e-mail circulars of the Albanian Studies Programme. Please let me know if
you wish someone else to be included on this mailing list, or if you wish
not to receive information. This e-mail circular will inform you of any
last minute changes and give news of  future
speakers in the seminar series.

The Proceedings of the June 1999 conference 'The Role of Myth
in History and Development in Albania' will be published in
abstract form on the SSEES web site as soon as editorial procedures allow.
The Proceedings will also be edited
in Albanian translation by Fatos Lubonja, Tirana. An English publication
of selected papers from the conference is projected with Hurst, London.

The SSEES Nash Albanian Studies Programme takes pleasure in
the fact that a new initiative in the form of the Albanian Studies
Centre, which has been developed in London by Dr Bejtullah Destani, has
come into being. We hope to be able to keep you informed on activities of
this other
centre as well.


(2) Please note the following changes to the Nash Albanian Studies
Public Seminar Series. I am organising it this year in conjunction with the
evening lectures of the Centre for South-East European Studies. In the
future it will take place fortnightly on Tuesdays at 6 p. m., in the MCR of
SSEES, 21 - 22 Russell Square. Expanding on the established theme of
Integration and Disintegration in Albania the emphasis this year will be
on economy, conflict and security as well as on the role Albania
plays within a wider regional context. Please note the first lectures of
the combined new seminar series:


Oct 12 	Michael Kaser, Oxford:
The Albanian Political Economy after the Kosovo Conflict

Oct 26 	Steven Sampson, Kopenhagen:
Post-POST communism in Southeast Europe: Projectisation and Mafia


Nov 02 	Ivan Colovic, Belgrade:
Poetry and Nation


Nov. 09 	Peter Loizos, LSE:
Ottoman Half-Lives: The End of Empire as Experienced by
Studies of Displaced Persons

Yours sincerely,
