"Sociology of European Integration" examines the aspects of integration, communication, and modernization in the development of the European Union. The establishment and refinement of functional links between the processes of integration, communication, and modernization are identified as a comparative advantage of the Union. The study presents the European Union and its enlargement, as well as Bulgaria’s participation in European integration, from a new perspective. By laying the foundations of a sociological approach, it fills a gap in research on European integration not only in Bulgaria. The book lays the groundwork for the development of a Bulgarian vision of European integration. The book is of interest to readers engaged in European integration—politicians, government officials, diplomats, journalists, and scholars. It can serve as a reference book for instructors and students of European studies, sociology, mass communications, and international relations.
