Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to the term “extended parentela” which stands for the model of oligarchic party-group dynamics currently in operation in Bulgaria. If the previous chapters were used to present the results of the Bulgarian Parentela Study, then they also served to introduce the two elements that comprise this model: type one and type two parentela. The argument here is that from a macro-political perspective, the parentela assumes the outlines of an oligarchic dynamic because it models the competition among oligarchic elites formed around party-group cooperation. The present chapter will construct the extended parentela model and explain why it is oligarchic and hypothesize on Bulgarian democratic development. In doing so, the chapter also argues that the model could serve as the theoretical mechanism of a state’s departure from a democratic status quo to oligarchic, without reforming any of the existing democratic institutions.
