This book provides the first bilateral study of Greek-US relations
during Greece's transition to democracy in the second half of the
1970s. Following the 1974 Cyprus crisis, which led to the collapse
of the Greek dictatorship and Athens' partial withdrawal from NATO,
many scholars have claimed that Greece moved away from the United
States. This book explicitly rejects this view. It argues that
Greek political leaders continued to view close relations with the
United States as an integral part of Greek national security
despite the disappointment felt during the Turkish invasion of
Cyprus. At the same time, the Greek leadership could not overlook
the anti-American movement, and had to respond to and manage it. In
the United States, relations with Greece became part of the clash
between the executive and legislative branches of government. Both
President Gerard R. Ford and President Jimmy Carter proclaimed
their commitment to restoring relations with Athens. This book
highlights the continuity between the Republican and Democratic
administrations of the 1970s in foreign policy objectives. Drawing
on Greek, US and British archival records, it charts the evolving
connections between Greece and the United States through the
Greek-Turkish disputes, the impact of anti-Americanism and the
Greek-NATO relationship offering original insight into this Cold
War special relationship.
