Summary
The report analyses rural regions in Bulgaria from three important perspectives. First, the underdevelopment of rural regions is examined as an aspect of, and reason for regional and social disparity in Bulgaria. Secondly, the report looks at the key role of government and non-government institutions in rural development. Thirdly, the report analyses the role of the European Union (EU) accession in mainstreaming rural regions in Bulgaria’s overall development. The common denominator of these three rural development perspectives is the focus on rural people and the choices they have in terms of income, health, education, and governance to achieve a decent standard of living – all of which are at the heart of the human development concept.
