| Title | New Nation, New Nationalism: Agrarian Theory and Policy in Bulgaria from 1919-1923 |
| Summary | There exists a critical gap in the literature between analysis of the regime of Alexander Stamboliski from a basic historical perspective and a broader ideological perspective rooted in nationalism theory. The result of this gap has been a division of research between those who look simply at the policies of the regime and those who attempt to discuss it in a framework of what is almost always Marxist ideology. By examining the policies and historical context of the Stamboliski regime in conjunction with analyzing it through the lens of nationalism theory, the depth and importance of the regime become more clear. Through this framework it becomes possible to view what is often called an anti-national regime as a nationalist regime attempting to reforge the national identities of Bulgaria and, eventually, the entire Balkans. This comes with implications in how we view nationalism in the Balkans, Agrarianism, and the broader processes of addressing modernization and the region's Ottoman legacy. |
