This review inverts the idiom “family values” to show the value of the family. It grounds this value in family economic activity but advocates an interactive approach in which cultural commitments to the family influence economic and political outcomes. Historical and ethnographic research on the family is mustered to illustrate the interaction and then combined with theories of capitalism and nationalism to account for the resonance of the family values discourse. A final section reviews the potential dangers of family-focused research. That tradesman who does not delight in his family will never long delight in his business. D. Defoe

When Bulgarians elected a parliament dominated by the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) in their first, free postcommunist election, they were considered the mavericks of eastern Europe. As Misha Glenny critically points out, “Bulgaria bucks the trend” was a recurrent phrase in English-language reports of the 1990 contest. But four years later, after an intervening non-socialist government, a second socialist victory seemed to be following trends set in Lithuania, Hungary and Poland. In a front-page article in The New York Times several months before Bulgaria's 1994 election, the east European trend towards embracing ex-communists is described as beginning in Lithuania, with no mention of Bulgaria's earlier socialist victory and its continual socialist electoral strength. Then, following the election, the Washington Post reported that the results “brought the fourth former Communist Party to power in Eastern Europe, after Hungary, Poland and Lithuania.“

... Yet the country faces numerous threats to biodiversity due to lack of enforcement, corruption, the existence of a grey economy, and disregard of legislation (including European). Bulgaria has undergone a long period of transition after the collapse of the socialist regime -the period of so-called postsocialism 4 -and it is still struggling to find Brown bears are a highly symbolic species for nature conservation. ...

... Because of this finding, the Bulgarian consumption behaviour from the past might also be in transition. Essentially, the post-socialistic consumption patterns and perceptions, such as the scarcity and "empty shelves," the restrictive social norms, lack of social mobility, wealth inequality, and idealisation of specific classes and cultures, could be argued to be resulting in conspicuous consumption of today's society (Creed, 2002). Current practices of demonstrating status via goods are rooted in socialist experience (Sredl, 2004;Stec, 1992). ...

... Such approaches may neglect the persistent distinctiveness of rural life [36] and fail to grasp the complexities of blurred rural-urban interfaces [37], applying standardized, externallydriven models instead of recognizing and leveraging unique local strengths and capacities [38]. Critically, such strategies tend to undervalue or neglect the adaptive capacity embedded within the existing "domestic economy" [39] or "peasant economy" [40]-the traditional, flexible, family-based livelihood strategies incorporating diverse activities, such as local crafts, food processing, and small-scale tourism ventures, beyond formal agriculture [41,42] that persist in many marginalized communities. Consequently, critical underlying issues like the erosion of local culture [43], declining community cohesion [44], and impacts on elderly residents' identity and self-worth [45] are often overlooked. ...
