Restoring the Ethnolinguistic Rights of Bulgaria's Turkish Minority
This article presents a fairly detailed account of the positive changes in restoring the ethnolinguistic rights of Bulgaria's Turkish minority since the post-10 November 1989 reversal of former Communist leader Todor Zhivkov's policy of cultural-linguistic assimilation. In spite of strong opposition and nationwide protests by various nationalist parties and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of ordinary Bulgarians, gone are the worst abuses …
Why Was the Monarchy Not Restored in Post-Communist Bulgaria
The controversy over bringing back Bulgaria’s abolished monarchy reflects in a large measure the prolonged agony the country has been undergoing ever since it launched on a course of painful post-communist reforms. Against the background of a deep economic crisis, mass poverty, the breakdown of law and order, and political chaos that have traumatized the population, the attempts to reinstate the monarchy have failed only because of its low histor…

The Roma remain to date the greatest pariah of ethnic groups in all of Eastern Europe. In the last decade or so, East European Roma have been attracting a lot of international attention as increasingly large numbers of them are abandoning their native countries to seek political asylum in the West, especially Western Europe. Probably as an indirect
Economic Performance and Regime Legitimacy in Post-Communist Bulgaria
It is commonly assumed that socio-economic conditions strongly influence political attitudes. Since democratic rule is based on the consent of the ruled, a secure and stable democracy cannot be established and maintained without broad-based popular endorsement, which is especially important for nascent post-communist democracies. Painful economic difficulties may engender deep anti-system sentiments at the mass level, encouraging anti-regime acti…
The “Third-Worldization” of a “Second-World” Nation
Post-Communist Bulgaria has fared rather poorly in the transition to a capitalist economy. By nearly every macroeconomic standard, it is in worse shape now than in the Communist past. Macroeconomic statistics show that the per capita GNP is sharply down, the social-safety net has all but disappeared, and even the physical survival of many impoverished Bulgarians is in serious peril. This article uses the political-economy approach to analyze the …
