Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

  • A Comparative Study of Tastes and Preferences for Local and Foreign Wines in Bulgaria

    A Comparative Study of Tastes and Preferences for Local and Foreign Wines in Bulgaria

    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TASTES AND PREFERENCES FOR LOCAL AND FOREIGN WINES IN BULGARIA Petyo Boshnakov University of Economics – Varna, Bulgaria [email protected] Abstract: On the base of semantic differential instrument we assess the main factors in wine demand attitudes of Bulgarian customers. We aim to find out whether specific marketing techniques could alter the demand for such a traditional product as wine in Bulgaria. Given the fact that Bulgarian customers only recently received the possibility to taste imported wines, we find that foreign wines are evaluated mainly through the prejudice of past knowledge, not linked to the actual product. Most likely the demand for wine in Bulgaria will continue to be focused on local products. Furthermore we examine how the region of origin determines tastes and preferences for consuming a specific type of wine and the price the consumer is ready to pay. Keywords: demand for wine, Bulgarian wine, regional varieties of wine 191 1. BULGARIAN WINE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT After Bulgaria joined the EU there has been an obvious deepening of the trend to restructure the vineyard and wine sector in the country, which had started in the pre-accession period. The change was necessitated by several key factors: • Outdated variety structure of the vines, mainly consistent with the old markets in Eastern Europe and Russia • Increasing export opportunities for the European Common Market in an environment of strong competition • The emergence of a considerable number of private farms and small wineries oriented towards production and export of high-quality wines • Funding opportunities for restructuring in the sector through EU funds Bulgaria managed to preserve its traditions in the wine industry despite the economically difficult transition.
