The subject of the XVIII congress of the ESRS attracted a lot of attention in Bulgaria. As a result the Bulgarian Society for Rural Sociology organized “The Bulgarian Village And Late Modernity” national conference in June 1999.
It is part of the papers given at the conference that are published in the present book within the “Bulgarian Rusticana” series.
We see this collection as a presentation of our perspective on the challenges facing rural Bulgaria at the turn of the century. We hope the book will be a useful introduction to our participation in the Congress.

"The historical destiny of Bulgaria and the country’s geopolitical location were the factors that actually led to the specific results and paradoxes of rural and agricultural development.
Modernity and individualism were late in coming to Bulgaria, and the modernization process followed an uneven and forcibly accelerated course over the last 50 years."
