After fifteen years, this is the first issue of Academicus Journal to be published without Arta Musaraj, its Founder and Editor-in-Chief, who worked until last May to publish it.
It is the first volume published without her presence. She passed away at just 50 years old.

Sixteen years ago, in the inaugural issue of Academicus, Franco Ferrarotti, the greatest Italian sociologist of all time, one of the most famous in the world, wrote:
"A journal born in an era dominated by electronic messaging is today clearly both an act of intellectual courage and a fervent hope for the future.
Especially in developing countries along modern industrial lines, such as Albania, a journal like this could mark a turning point with respect to political theories that are still purely intuitive or dogmatic metaphors of the past."

Franco Ferrarotti also passed away a few weeks before Arta Musaraj. He was almost 100 years old.
We can't even imagine what he would have written in that issue, were he still alive in memoriam of Arta.
It was Arta Musaraj who was given the honor of commemorating Ferrarroti in issue 31.

This issue, issue 32, which closes the era of demarcation between what she has published and what will be published in the future, presents us with the challenge of how to maintain and realize her dream of a scientific journal open and free to all.

We believe we will succeed. Seeing in this issue a group of excellent authors from around the world—from a Mediterranean mix of Albania, Italy, and Algeria to the Balkans, the United Arab Emirates, and South Africa—and their fascinating topics, we feel proud of the path that lies ahead.

It is no coincidence that this issue is opened by Guglielmo Chiodi, an extraordinary professor at Sapienza University of Rome, a member of the Electoral Council, and a close collaborator of Professor Arta Musaraj throughout her formidable career, including in the doctoral programs at Sapienza, which he directed, where she taught her modules and seminars.
In his memory, this issue describes unique details of the distinctive project of the Italian "New Academy”, “conceived and born” in Albania.

It continues with the excellent works of Daniele Battista, Wafia Tihal, Gjeraqina Leka, Abdelhak Chenini, Nageshwari Pam Moodley, Luisa Nardi, Vincenzo Auriemma, Algirdas Makarevicius, Philip Harttrup, Panthayil Krishnan Baburajan, Morefaith Naledi Sibanyoni, Peter J.O. Aloka, Maend Kullaj, with extraordinary contributions that are all worth reading.
