Abstract

The interdisciplinary New Institutional Economics, to a large extent, contributes to the modern understanding of the essence and factors of governance in general and of governance in individual areas of social activity and levels of analysis, from the governance of individual transactions to the governance of global affairs. The paper presents results of recent research in the field of agrarian governance in Bulgaria. Without claiming to be exhaustive, these studies provide an idea of ​​the Bulgarian experience in agrarian governance and of the modest Bulgarian contribution to the implementation of the institutional analysis of the forms and mechanisms of agrarian governance. First, a holistic approach to understanding and analyzing agrarian governance is presented, and its quality in Bulgaria is assessed. Then, the economic role of agrarian contracts is revealed, their types are classified, and an approach to assessing their effectiveness is presented. This is followed by an analysis of the types and costs of agricultural contracts in the country. Then, an analysis of the governance structures of cooperatives is made. The forms, factors, and effectiveness of the main types of transactions of Bulgarian farms are identified, such as supply of land, labor, knowledge and innovation, risk management, and provision of ecosystem services. Then, the impact of smart contracts on the transaction costs of agricultural holdings is assessed. An analysis is made of direct payments from the Common Agricultural Policy as the main form of public intervention upon accession of countries to the European Union. Finally, an assessment is made of the convergence and prospects of Bulgarian agriculture in global agricultural development.
