Critical discourse analysis reveals the intersection of pro-Ukraine mobilisation and domestic grievances, suggesting complex social dynamics in Albania.
In the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Albania expressed official support for Ukraine while simultaneously experiencing a significant wave of anti-government protests. This paper employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine how the pro-Ukraine mobilisation of March 2022 intersected with domestic political grievances. Drawing on 30 news articles, it analyses how social actors discursively positioned themselves and 'the Other', merging universal anti-war narratives with internal blaming schemes. Furthermore, in doing so, it discusses the implications of pro-Ukraine mobilisation among citizens on the dynamics of social movements in Albania.
