Summary/Abstract: This study examines the patterns of Europeanization of the Bulgarian party system following four main criteria: the structural influence, the ideological influence, the European issue mobilization and the European representation. The development of the Bulgarian party system is divided in three main periods in order to observe the impact of each of the four patterns on the national system during the transition. On this basis, conclusions are made as to the role of the EU impact on the party system and its perspectives.
