Abstract
This chapter summarizes the main findings of this book and points to potential future research avenues. While one topic of great importance that remains understudied is the social history of drinking, what remains to be studied in connection to the history of temperance in the region is its transformation into social welfare programs of the second half of the twentieth century.

See for example the issue of Trezva Borba, 1937, 5:5–6, pp. 4–5, celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Bulgarian Temperance Federation in 1937. Out of the thirty-nine portraits representing the history of the BTF (and the temperance movement altogether) there are only two women—Dr. Zoya Stavreva and A. Kreft.

On entangled history on the Balkans see the following series Daskalov, Rumen; Marinov, Tchavdar (Eds.) (2013): Entangled histories of the Balkans. Volume One: National Ideologies and Language Policies. Leiden: Brill; Daskalov, Rumen; Mishkova, Diana (Eds.) (2014): Entangled histories of the Balkans. Volume Two: Transfers of Political Ideologies and Institutions. Leiden: Brill; Daskalov, Rumen; Vezenkov, Aleksandŭr (Eds.) (2017): Entangled histories of the Balkans. Volume Three: Shared Pasts, Disputed Legacies. Leiden: Brill. What is missing in these otherwise excellent studies are non-governmental organizations and reform movements in the twentieth century.
