He traces the emergence of the currently implemented Bulgarian ethnic model in its interconnection with the party system, and especially examines the ideology, political support, and mobilization tools employed by the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) party as well as the populist radical right. Cholakov presents findings from case studies on Bulgaria?s Roma, crime, and politics. He analyzes Bulgarian integration policies and assesses the role of Bulgaria?s judiciary as well as contemporary antidiscrimination legislation, in particular, of the 2004 Protection against Discrimination Act. The monograph peruses decisions of, among others, the European Court of Human Rights and uncovers patterns of discrimination against Roma. By reverse engineering the Bulgarian ethnic model, Cholakov reveals how the institutions operate and comes to the conclusion that inter-ethnic peace has been entrusted to a defective mechanism which institutionalizes ethnic cleavage and politicizes identity. On the basis of his in-depth analysis, the author makes a prognosis for the future of ethnic relations in Bulgaria and provides recommendations for reforms. 410 0$aSoviet and post-Soviet politics and society.$x1614-3515 606 $aBulgaria 606 $aconflict 606 $apolitics 606 $aBulgarien 606 $aKonflikt 606 $aPolitik 615 4$aBulgaria 615 4$aconflict 615 4$apolitics 615 4$aBulgarien 615 4$aKonflikt 615 4$aPolitik 676 $a305.80094977 700 $aCholakov$b Petar$4aut$01693364 702 $aUmland$b Andreas$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958666803321 996 $aEthnic entrepreneurs unmasked$94071089 997 $aUNINA
