A Reader's Guide to Bulgaria

Security Issues and Foreign Policy

Khariton Khalachev, a priest and voevode during the April 1876 Uprising

A chapter on the dilemmas facing Bulgaria as the Soviet Bloc began to crumble by John D. Bell along with a commentary by former ambassador to Bulgaria Jack R. Perry is found in Richard F. Staar, ed., United States - East European Relations in the 1990s (New York: Crane Russak, 1989). In Remaking the Balkans (New York: The Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1991) Christopher Cviic, editor of The World Today, examines the reemergence of Balkan nationalisms and discusses the implications for the entire region of the disintegration of Yugoslavia. Two other books with a regional focus that provide significant descriptions of issues of interest to Bulgaria are Daniel N. Nelson, Balkan Imbroglio: Politics and Security in Southeastern Europe (Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1991) and James F. Brown, Nationalism, Democracy, and Security in the Balkans (Brookfield, VT: Dartmouth Publishing Co., 1992), a RAND research study.

Oscar W. Clyatt, Jr, a career State Department officer with experience in Sofia, made Bulgaria the subject of his study as a Research Fellow and Student at the National War College. His work was published as Bulgaria's Quest for Security after the Cold War (Washington: Institute for National Strategic Studies, 1993).
