From salary to resistance: mobility, employment, and violence in Dibra, 1792–1826

Summary/Abstract
This article traces the military employment patterns of the highlanders of Dibra in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It addresses how the Albanian highlanders found different opportunities for military employment in a period largely associated with political instability. The Albanians as ‘mountain bandits’ have been regarded as the primary culprit of the violence that ravaged the Balkans. The same bandits, this article shows, constituted at the same time the irregular forces the Ottoman army came to rely on in the late eighteenth century. By demonstrating different prospects of employment with which the Albanian irregulars were preoccupied, it provides a broader perspective to observe the turmoil the Balkans underwent in a period of political instability. This article also deals with the intricate interplay between the Albanian irregulars and the Ottoman military administration. It reinserts the Albanian bandits-cum-irregulars into the background of the military reforms. Showing how different prospects for military employment that ranged from freelance plunder to service either for the imperial army or the retinue of the rogue Albanian pashas came to clash with the discourse of military reforms, this article also traces the increasing tension between the Albanian irregulars and the modernising Ottoman army.

Summary/Abstract
Kosovo's first year of independence has been characterised by efforts to reconcile the country's new self-declared status and establish a way of living with its Serb minority population. This difficult task has been mirrored in efforts to reform its security sector. While the creation of a new security force to replace the controversial Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC) is underway, the Kosovo Police Service (KPS), often used as an example of a successful multi-ethnic institution, is still struggling to find the best way to deal with Serb members who left their posts following the independence declaration.
