Declining or Waning

While the BULGARIAN HISTORICAL REVIEW continues to publish a wide range of topics, certain areas of focus have shown a decline in prominence over recent years. This may reflect shifts in academic interest or the evolving nature of historical research.
  1. Traditional Military History:
    Papers focused solely on traditional military history, particularly those that do not connect to broader social or political contexts, have become less frequent, indicating a shift towards more integrative approaches.
  2. Narrowly Defined Ethnic Studies:
    Research that examines ethnic identities in a very localized or narrow context is waning, as scholars increasingly seek to explore broader themes of migration and transnationalism.
  3. Local Histories without Regional Context:
    There is a noticeable decrease in studies that focus solely on local histories without connecting them to larger regional or national narratives, reflecting a trend towards more comprehensive historical analyses.
  4. Conventional Political History:
    The focus on conventional political history, such as the detailed study of political leaders and their policies in isolation, is declining in favor of more thematic and interdisciplinary approaches.
