The underlying growth model proved vulnerable to shocks, being associated with a high share of nontradable, low domestic savings, and a fragile external position. Convergence to EU income levels was relatively moderate. Economic growth fell following the onset of the global financial crisis and further slowed the pace of convergence. Serbia?s postcrisis income gap remains larger by comparison to more advanced regional economies. Structural bottlenecks continue to undermine overall competitiveness and constrain growth potential. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2013/207 606 $aMonetary policy$zSerbia 606 $aAging$2imf 606 $aBusiness Taxes and Subsidies$2imf 606 $aCorporate income tax$2imf 606 $aCorporate Taxation$2imf 606 $aCorporations$2imf 606 $aCredit$2imf 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebts, Public$2imf 606 $aDemography$2imf 606 $aEconomics of the Elderly$2imf 606 $aEconomics of the Handicapped$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aIncome economics$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aMonetary economics$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General$2imf 606 $aMoney and Monetary Policy$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aNon-labor Market Discrimination$2imf 606 $aPensions$2imf 606 $aPopulation aging$2imf 606 $aPopulation and demographics$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aTaxes$2imf 606 $aWages$2imf 606 $aWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: General$2imf 607 $aSerbia$xEconomic conditions 607 $aSerbia, Republic of$2imf 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 7$aAging 615 7$aBusiness Taxes and Subsidies 615 7$aCorporate income tax 615 7$aCorporate Taxation 615 7$aCorporations 615 7$aCredit 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebts, Public 615 7$aDemography 615 7$aEconomics of the Elderly 615 7$aEconomics of the Handicapped 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aIncome economics 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aMonetary economics 615 7$aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General 615 7$aMoney and Monetary Policy 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aNon-labor Market Discrimination 615 7$aPensions 615 7$aPopulation aging 615 7$aPopulation and demographics 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aTaxes 615 7$aWages 615 7$aWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: General 676 $a338 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964295303321 996 $aRepublic of Serbia$92732367 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04739oam 2200637 c 450 001 9910958666803321 005 20260102090118.0 010 $a9783838271897 010 $a3838271890 024 3 $a9783838271897 035 $a(CKB)4100000007009846 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5782730 035 $a(OCoLC)1110487736 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5782730 035 $a(Perlego)773166 035 $a(ibidem)9783838271897 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000007009846 100 $a20260102d2018 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aEthnic Entrepreneurs Unmasked $ePolitical Institutions and Ethnic Conflicts in Contemporary Bulgaria /$fPetar Cholakov, Andreas Umland 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aHannover$cibidem$d2018 215 $a1 online resource (239 pages) 225 0 $aSoviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society$v189 311 08$a9783838211893 311 08$a3838211898 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aIntro -- Contents -- List of Figures and Tables -- Abbreviations -- Introduction -- 1.

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
