Summary/Abstract: Bulgaria is Europe’s great unknown. Among the upcoming EU members, Bulgaria is the one which in its transition has undergone the deepest economic crisis, accompanied by great political turbulence. It is the one that has seen the most dramatic economic, political and institutional turnarounds in recent years. But today Bulgaria has undergone profound structural and institutional reforms. It has kicked the habit of having parliamentary elections every second year and governmental crisis every six months. The two authors’ aim is to get Bulgaria right, so they are trying to solve some puzzles like: Why does economic growth not produce social optimism? Why is policy stability producing political unpredictability? Why do anti-elite sentiments not subvert the EU integration process? Let’s have a look at it with them!
