It was conducted between August 2006 and February 2007 at the request of the Bulgarian Government and with the financial support of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The adoption of the NACE international classification of economic activities by the National Statistical Institute (NSI) in 2003 (Bulgarian National Classification of Economic Activities NKID- 2003) was an important precondition for the study, allowing for the application of the WIPO methodology. The data on the years 2003 and 2005 allowed for an evaluation of the real situation at the end of 2005 and the development of these industries over a three-year period. Carrying out this study was an expression of Bulgaria’s adherence to the principle that knowledge protected by intellectual property rights is of key importance for the wealth of nations. This principle, widely accepted among developed countries, has put the copyright-based industries at the forefront of public policy. The OECD countries have developed a relevant infrastructure and boosted the implementation of intellectual property legislation, which has transformed copyright-based industries into one of the most rapidly- developing economic sectors. Since 1998 several Bulgarian governments have made significant efforts to limit the piracy of protected goods and services and to impose intellectual property rights legislation. In 2006 the present government launched a national campaign for the protection of copyright aimed at raising public awareness and further strengthening the implementation of copyright law. The present research forms part of these efforts since it provides objective economic data for designing better policies in the field and can contribute to the general positive change in public attitudes towards copyright-based industries. The methodology of the study is based on a secondary analysis of main economic indicators such as value added, gross output, share of imports and exports and employment, which have been analyzed for each of the copyright-related activities. These activities are classified into four groups – core, interdependent, partial, Copyright-Based Industries in Bulgaria and non-dedicated support industries. The economic contribution of core and interdependent industries is considered as 100 percent copyright related, while for the other two groups a specific copyright factor is The Economic Contribution of applied, following WIPO’s methodology and the experience of researchers in Hungary, the US, Singapore, Latvia, and others. Core industries - those with the highest copyright contribution to the created value added: press and literature; visual and graphic arts; music, theater and opera; photography; motion picture and video; radio and television; advertising; software and databases. 349 Interdependent industries - manufacturing and trade of equipment, instruments and products used entirely or mainly in core copyright industries: computers, photographic and cinematographic equipment, radio and television devices, paper, blank recording materials. Partial industries - those in which only a part of their activities are related to copyright and neighboring rights: apparel, textiles and footwear, furniture, jewelry, artistic arts, toys and games, domestic and home appliances and goods, architecture, activities of museums. Non-dedicated support industries - facilitate distribution and sales of copyright-protected goods and services: telecommunications including the Internet, transportation, general wholesale and retail. Typology of Copyright-Based Industries according to WIPO’s Methodology In its analysis of the manner of collection and calculation of the macroeconomic data applied by the Bulgarian NSI, the survey team concluded that, at present a more appropriate idea of the economic contribution of copyright-based industries can be provided by their share of the gross value added (GVA) at basic prices rather than the gross domestic product (GDP) at market prices. In addition to GVA as its basis, GDP includes indirect taxation, excise and customs duties (all having a greater impact on goods for mass consumption unrelated to creative industries), which changes the basis for comparison by artificially reducing the share of copyright-based industries. In addition the NSI methodology does not take into account the income of such large cultural institutions as the national television, national radio, state and municipal theatres, opera, dance troupes, museums and galleries, etc. (which, according to the experts, exceeds 20 percent of their subsidies). The WIPO methodology has been applied to the most detailed level in the Bulgarian survey – to the primary data by each of the codes of economic activities in the classification of the Bulgarian version of NACE (NKID-2003). This has made it possible to process information about the intangible fixed assets of the companies (including rights on products of intellectual property, software, R&D), net sales, profit from main activities, intermediate consumption and others. The collected copyright-based industries’ economic data for 2003 and 2005 allows for additional specialized analyses of different segments of the copyright-based industries, including in-depth analyses of the most successful and rapidly-developing sectors of software, publishing and printing, and film. These data also form a good basis for future comparison on a national and international level. The Overall Contribution of the Copyright-Based Industries to GDP in 2005 In 2005, gross output of BGN4.155 billion and value added of BGN1.204 billion came from economic activities related to copyright and neighboring rights. The core copyright industries made the greatest economic contribution to the sector with a gross output of BGN2.498 billion and value added of BGN672 million. The Economic Contribution of Copyright-Based Industries in Bulgaria 350 When calculated in comparison to the GDP, the total contribution of the copyright-based industries is 2.81 percent and that of the core industries is 1.57 percent. The economic contribution of the copyright-based industries in 2005 can be represented as follows: The ‘static’ outline of the share of the copyright-based industries’ economic contribution reveals a significant though small sector of the Bulgarian economy. This outline, however, does not give a clear idea of the copyright-based industries growth rates, which put them among the most rapidly-developing sectors of the economy. For the period 2003-2005 the survey identified the gross value added derived from the current Copyright-Based Industries in Bulgaria price index as growing by 50 percent over three years, which exceeded the growth rates of the economy as a whole (11.5 percent). If favorable conditions continued and if the sector received adequate public support, The Economic Contribution of it could become one of the engines for Bulgarian economic development in the near future. Rates of Change in Value Added for 2003-2005 351 Information on the copyright-based industries is obtained as a ratio of the values for 2005 and 2003 adjusted for inflation. The data on the national economy are taken from Table 1.2.22 in 2005 Main Economic Indicators, National Accounts Section (www.nsi.bg).

Milen Penerliev 1 Alternative tourism is a form of tourism which represents an alternative to the conventional mass tourism. Its forms are small-scale, low-density, divided into forms practiced in urban (religious, cultural, business) and rural areas. Alternative tourism is an attempt to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the existing resource base, which is fundamental for tourism itself. Alternative tourism is featured by active encouragement and care for the development of additional andspecific attractions as well the infrastructure, which are based on the local resources, while at the same time aiding the latter. It has an impact on the quality of life in the region, improves the infrastructure and increases the educational and cultural level of the local community.

  • Small State Autonomy in Hierarchical Regimes. the Case of Bulgaria in the German and Soviet Spheres of Influence 1933 – 1956
    Small State Autonomy in Hierarchical Regimes. The Case of Bulgaria in the German and Soviet Spheres of Influence 1933 – 1956 By Vera Asenova Submitted to Central European University Doctoral School of Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Julius Horváth Budapest, Hungary November 2013 Statement I hereby state that the thesis contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Vera Asenova ………………... ii Abstract This thesis studies international cooperation between a small and a big state in the framework of administered international trade regimes. It discusses the short-term economic goals and long-term institutional effects of international rules on domestic politics of small states. A central concept is the concept of authority in hierarchical relations as defined by Lake, 2009. Authority is granted by the small state in the course of interaction with the hegemonic state, but authority is also utilized by the latter in order to attract small partners and to create positive expectations from cooperation. The main research question is how do small states trade their own authority for economic gains in relations with foreign governments and with local actors. This question is about the relationship between international and domestic hierarchies and the structural continuities that result from international cooperation. The contested relationship between foreign authority and domestic institutions is examined through the experience of Bulgaria under two different international trade regimes – the German economic sphere in the 1930’s and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) in the early 1950’s.
