This chapter focuses on the efforts to reform environmental legislation and administration in Bulgaria since 1989. In particular, it will focus on the role of geographical scale and popular action in this process of legislative reform. The chapter reveals that initial commitments to environmental reforms were, in large part, responses to the power of popular action and of environmental non-governmental organizations. But this power quickly diminished as political and economic conditions changed after 1989. The normalizing of environmental politics also weakened efforts to implement stronger forms of environmental regulation such as the rewriting of the Environmental Protection Act, which legalized the construction of the Djerman-Skakavitsa dam and caused the suspension of talks with the government by the International Monetary Fund. The chapter also focuses on the ways in which, in responding to the demands of reform and transformation, everyday activities are also changing environmental conditions and practices. The chapter focuses explicitly on the impact of changing regulatory and social practices on the environment, with specific attention to regulatory reform, environmental hazards, agriculture, forestry, water resources, protected landscapes and industry.
