Abstract
Like the other former Warsaw Pact nations, Bulgaria overthrew its Communist regime in 1989 and embarked on a course with the hopeful name "democratization." Simultaneously, Bulgaria began marketization; that is, a movement away from a centrally planned economy and toward a market system integrated with the world economy. Both democracy and marketization are among a long series of international trends that have swept across Bulgaria since it gained its independence in 1878 - with an influence that in general has been more nominal than real. Of all the international trends that have shaped post-independence Bulgaria, only Sovietstyle socialism has had a profound impact. We show in this paper how women's employment policies have changed little and are unlikely to change much more because of the weak impact of both democratization and marketization
