Suggesting that the introduction of socialism was a correlative of political modernity in the Balkans, Dimou (Institute of Slavic Studies, U. of Leipzig, Germany) examines how it developed as an ideology in Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece. Her analytical approach, which focuses principally on socialist discourses and socialist intellectuals, is three-fold: to examine the correlation between context and ideology; to discuss the process of transfer and adaptation of socialist paradigms; and to explore the potential dynamic that socialism generated as a political option within these societies, particularly in relation to other ideologies of mass representation such as liberalism, nationalism, and agrarianism.
