Abstract

Mass privatization is an important part of the Bulgarian post-socialist transformations. Because of citizens’ direct involvement in it, its social legitimacy is crucial for the social acceptance of the privatization in general. The paper analyzes the problem of the social legitimacy of mass privatization in a long-term period and the main research question is: did privatization succeed in acquiring social legitimacy or did the attitude towards it remain mostly negative. To contextualize the topic, a brief overview of the results of mass privatization in the Czech Republic and Russia is also included in the analysis. The main research hypothesis is that privatization could not legitimize itself as the right path taken in Bulgarian society. The main reason behind this is the non-success of the main wave of the Bulgarian mass privatization. To prove the main hypothesis, data of national representative survey is analyzed in the paper.
大规模私有化的社会合法性:以保加利亚为例
大规模私有化是保加利亚后社会主义转型的重要组成部分。由于公民的直接参与,民营化的社会合法性对于民营化能否被社会普遍接受至关重要。本文分析了长期以来大规模私有化的社会合法性问题,主要研究问题是私有化是否成功获得了社会合法性,还是人们对私有化的态度大多是消极的。为了使本专题具有背景,分析中还包括对捷克共和国和俄罗斯大规模私有化结果的简要概述。主要的研究假设是,私有化本身不能成为保加利亚社会采取的正确道路。这背后的主要原因是保加利亚大规模私有化的主要浪潮没有成功。为了证明本文的主要假设,本文对全国代表性调查数据进行了分析。
