This rare focus on the politics of contemporary Greece explores in
particular the countries processes of public policy-making.
It is more than thirty years since the restoration of democracy in
Greece and in this period the country has undergone a number of
major changes. Domestic political tensions have arisen from the
pressures of Europeanization as a consequence of Greece's
membership in the European Union. EU membership has helped define a
modernization project, latterly associated with Premier Costas
Simitis, which clashes with traditional practices and paradigms. In
addition, other challenges have arisen: of a multi-ethnic society,
of the loss of faith in old ideologies and of the passage of old
divisions. Greece now faces pressure to adapt to the external
environment, as well as to the constraints of the will and
capability of the domestic system.
"Politics and Policy in Greece" addresses core issues, such as:
* How far has the politics of modernizationpenetrated Greek
society?
* How far have reforms to state-economy relations, welfare systems
and constitutional rights reflected a liberal agenda and how far
have they reflected traditional concerns?
* How has modernization affected Greece's relations with the
European Union?
Containing expert overviews and detailed case studies of the
dynamics of domestic politics, this accessible and informative
volume is essential reading for both Greeks and non-Greeks alike.
