Minority Rights and Majority Rule: Ethnic Tolerance in Romania and Bulgaria

This article addresses the historical and social underpinnings of the conflict over ethnic minority rights in Bulgaria and Romania. In each country minority groups - ethnic Turks in Bulgaria and ethnic Hungarians in Romania - previously held dominant positions and were greatly restricted during the communist period. Attempts to reverse some of these restrictions have now led to a more open expression of ethnic tension and conflict. After an examination of the historical roots of these contemporary conflicts, we present data from national surveys conducted in 1991 and 1992 on tolerance for minority rights among ethnic Romanians and Bulgarians. Then, within this context, we develop and test a multiple indicator, multiple construct causal model of ethnic tolerance based on political ideology, democratic values, threat perception, and social background variables..
