Геоикономически перспективи на България според стопански експерти при Щаба на Действащата армия през Първата световна война
Geo-economic Prospects of Bulgaria according to economic experts at the Headquarters of the Acting army during the First World War

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the views of Bulgarian economists about Bulgariaʼs place in the imagined world order and the international market after the Great War, formed before the national collapse. In parti-cular, it examines the opinions of the employees of a very specific structure at the Headquarters of the Acting Army – the Economic Research Section. They presented geo-economic reasons for establishing Bulgaria as a regional factor in Southeastern Europe, which they thought would save the country. The leading idea was that if this goal was not achieved, the Bulgarian national economy would simply not be “large enough, and therefore sustainable, to overcome the storms that the economic war of the future peace bears”. The Neuilly treaty, “legalizing” the Bulgarian national catastrophe with the “right” of power, proved in the long run the validity of this judgment.
