According to mainstream discourse of the Cold War, post-1945
Western Europe was essentially a homogeneous historical space fully
integrated into modern industrial society. But as Southern Europe?
makes clear, Western European societies were in fact divided by
deep political and economic inequalities. While nations in the
north embodied consolidated democracies, Spain, Portugal, and
Greece were at times all authoritarian regimes. Deeply afflicted
with underdevelopment, these countries were cut off from the
"economic miracles" other Western European states were
experiencing. With its weak democracy, Italy held a contradictory
position between the struggles of the Iberian and Greek peninsulas
and the progress of its neighbors beyond the Alps. Now, old
inequalities long believed to be things of the past have
resurfaced, and a new debt crisis appears to be splitting the
continent apart along historic lines. This book raises the
important question of whether studying the geopolitics and social
history of southern Europe might be a valuable analytical tool for
understanding these contemporary financial catastrophes.
