Istanbul Crisis In Bulgaria

Abstract [en]

Among the few countries in Europe which have not yet ratified the Istanbul Convention, Bulgaria presents quite an interesting case when it comes to the matter. From silently signing the document to it escalating to later triggering public unrest and crisis over the course of several years. However, as interesting as that process is, there is little to no academic research done on the matter. The only data available on what happened appears to be in news articles. By analyzing this data to the theoretical framework, created by Benjamin Moffit, this paper aims to address this lack of information and identify whether or not a populist narrative is at work. The framework Moffitt has presented is used to identify crisis created by populist actors. The data and theories are combined by utilizing a qualitative content analysis. It is determined that the framework proposed by Moffitt is viable and applicable to the case of Bulgaria. This opens up new academic opportunities as well as questions about the political dynamic and narrative in the country.
