Political Science Institute (PSI) Participates in the SDGAi Annual Forum on Rural Resilience

On 29 August, Dr. Dimitar Keranov, President of the Political Science Institute (PSI), represented the institute at the Strategic Dialogue for Global Affairs Initiative (SDGAi) Annual Forum on Rural Resilience, held in #Romania 🇷🇴

As part of the forum, Dr. Keranov delivered the presentation “Captured Villages: Bulgaria’s Rural Periphery Between Depopulation and Political Capture,” examining the relationship between rural depopulation and political capture, and their implications for local governance across the region.

PSI’s participation builds on its ongoing cooperation with Strategic Dialogue for Global Affairs Initiative and reflects the commitment of both organisations to comparative research on democratic governance, regional developments, and political transformations.

PSI will continue to expand its international partnerships and create opportunities for the exchange of expertise, ideas, and research.
