Referring in their title to chaos and not to the political theory of anarchy, Vickers (political analysis, International Crisis Group, Brussels) and Pettifer (Balkan studies, U. of Thessaloniki) present a history of Albania from the collapse of the Communist regime after the 1985 death of Enver Hoxha (leader of the Albanian Party of Labor) to the 1996 elections. After a sketch of the political fortunes of various parties and factions over the ten year period, separate chapters are devoted to the revival of religion, social and cultural changes, the rise of competing nationalisms, and international relations and defense.
