Research and teachingUntil 1989 Genov's research and teaching were mostly focused on topics of sociological theory and history of ideas. During this period he published the monographs "Talcott Parsons and the Theoretical Sociology" (1982) and "Rationality and Sociology" (1986) (in Bulgarian). After 1989 his research and teaching became increasingly occupied with transformation processes in various parts of the world and particularly in Eastern Europe. The monographs "The United States at the End of the XXth Century" (1991) and "The Rise of the Dragon: The Modernization of South Korea" (1994) as well as the collection "Risks of the Transition" (1994) (in Bulgarian) dealt with these topics. The publications on transformation issues were increasingly based on results of international comparative studies. This applies to the monograph "Managing Transformations in Eastern Europe" as well as to the edited volumes "Unemployment: Risks and Reactions" (1999) and "Continuing Transformations in Eastern Europe" (2000) (in English). The content of the latter publications is guided by a synthesis of a broadly conceived concept of social interaction with a differentiated concept of societal transformation. The synthesis opens the prospect for complex studies on fundamental processes of accelerated commercialization of economy, the democratization of politics, universalization of value-normative systems, digitization of technologies, and the ecologization of thinking and behavior. The series of international comparative research projects on Eastern Europe coordinated by Genov included: Personal and Institutional Strategies for Coping with Transformation Risks (UNESCO/MOST, 1997-2001); Ethnic Relations in South-Eastern Europe (Stability Pact for South-Eastern Europe, 2003-2005); Inter-ethnic Integration (EU, 2005-2007); Migration in the Post-Soviet Space (Volkswagen Foundation, 2008-2010). The monograph "Global Trends in Eastern Europe"(2010, reprinted 2016) contains the detailed analysis and conclusions of the studies on the transformation of Eastern European societies. The monograph is a conceptual turning point since the theoretical framework used by Genov gradually changed from the focus on the concept of societal transformation to the development and use of the concept of global social trends. The new framework is organized around the idea of four such trends called upgrading the rationality of organizations, individualization, the spread of instrumental activism, and the universalization of value-normative systems. Based on the sociological paradigm of social interaction the framework of social trends was applied in local, regional, and global studies published in the edited volume "Global Trends and Regional Development"(2012) and in the monograph "Challenges of Individualization" (2018). The claim of Genov is that the turn from methodological societalism towards methodological globalism opens the way to a new stage in the development of sociological knowledge. The new stage is marked by the concentration of the sociological research interest on global social trends as the outcome of interactions at micro-, mezzo, and macro-social structural levels. As seen from another vantage point the theoretical and empirical studies have identified the global trends as the major factors for building, reproduction, and change of current and future local, regional and global social situations. The monograph âThe Paradigm of Social Interactionâ (2021) is a synthesis of fundamental ideas of sociological knowledge.PublicationsNikolai Genov is an author with more than 350 scientific articles and books that have been published in 28 countries.Book publications in English:
