Abstract

Territorial governance has emerged in European policy discourse pertaining to social cohesion, spatial planning, multilevel governance and socio-economic development. However, despite the extensive literature, territorial governance still contains definitional ambiguities and faces criticism, especially in terms of practical implementation. This chapter examines five cases of territorial governance in Albania, making use of five territorial governance dimensions defined by the ESPON TANGO project in 2013. These cases are meant to provide practical evidence on concepts such as place-based decision-making, flexible governance, and cooperation and coordination of interests in the Albanian context, covering the whole policy cycle as well as specific steps. Besides contributing Albanian cases to the growing international repository on territorial governance, this chapter places an emphasis on various territorial scales and sectors and provides input on the discourse around bottom-up, context-based and inter-thematic evidence of territorial governance.
