Thirty years after Bulgaria's democratic breakthrough, this book provides a balance sheet of the country's democratic institutions through a number of interdisciplinary contributions. The volume is organized around three themes--democratic institutions, civil society, and European Union (EU) processes--and examines such topics such as voting, political parties, populism, media, civil society organizations, identity, and the rule of law. While the contributors argue that Bulgaria's democracy is successful in terms of the procedural norms of democracy, civic participation, and compliance with EU rules, they also identify serious problem areas. Bulgaria's democratic institutions struggle with obstacles such as populist Euroscepticism, political elitism, corruption, and a lack of political accountability, though this volume fully acknowledges the historical development of Bulgarian democracy, including its achievements and continuing setbacks.
