ARCS' Subsidy Made Possible a New Publication: Revisiting the Beginning of the Bulgarian Transition 25 Years after the First UDF Government by Dr. Philip Dimitrov

Revisiting the Beginning of the Bulgarian Transition 25 Years after the First UDF Government (Sofia 2016) presents a profound and illuminating analysis of recent Bulgarian history by Dr. Philip Dimitrov, Prime Minister of Bulgaria in 1991-1992, Ambassador of the Republic of Bulgaria to the United States, Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Georgia, and current Constitutional Judge. Dr. Dimitrov combines his expertise as internationally recognized Professor of Political Science with his unique perspective and knowledge as a protagonist in the events. Despite the undeniable contribution of Dr. Dimitrov’s government for Bulgaria’s acceptance into the Western world that warrants well-deserved pride, this study lacks any boastful pretenses or bias. It is written with the admirable humility, objectivity, erudition and wisdom that characterize a truly remarkable statesman and scholar. Revisiting the Beginning of the Bulgarian Transition is a must-read for historians of Eastern Europe, political scientists, and anyone interested in the complex and painful rebirth of a democratic system in former totalitarian societies. To purchase on Amazon, click HERE.
