Journal of Albanian Conspiracy Theories

Editor's Note

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Journal of Albanian Conspiracy Theories. This issue marks the beginning of our journey to explore and critically analyze conspiracy theories within and beyond the Albanian context. We aim to foster rigorous academic discourse and invite contributions from scholars worldwide.

Mission Statement

The Journal of Albanian Conspiracy Theories (JACT) exists to document, dissect, and reimagine Albanian history through the prism of conspiratorial thought. Our scope embraces every possible domain -- from the shifting tectonics of foreign policy and the covert mechanics of international politics, to the subtle manipulations of media narratives, the hidden economies of cheese-making, or the coded messages buried in Balkan film studies.
If it carries the taste of conspiracy, it belongs within our pages.
JACT is broad in its reach yet narrow in its obsession: the Albanian experience as seen through suspicion, intrigue, and alternative historiography. We are generous in our admissions, yet exacting in our expectations; careful in sourcing, yet careless in accepting the possibility that the improbable may be true.
We welcome the earnest and the eccentric, the meticulous and the speculative, so long as they serve the central mission: to keep alive the conspiratorial imagination in all its Albanian forms.
Publication fees are set at 10,000 EUR if you believe your work must appear in our pages --- or 0 EUR if the editors believe it must.
