From 1967 to 1974, the military junta ruling Greece attempted a
dramatic reshaping of the nation, implementing ideas and policies
that left a lasting mark on both domestic affairs and international
relations. Bringing together leading scholars from a range of
disciplines, The Greek Military Dictatorship explores the junta’s
attempts to impose authoritarian rule upon a rapidly modernizing
country while navigating a complex international landscape.
Focusing both on foreign relations as well as domestic matters such
as economics, ideology, religion, culture and education, this book
offers a fresh and well-researched study of a key period in modern
Greek history.
How does a severe economic crisis impact on diaspora-homeland
relations? The present volume addresses this question by exploring
diaspora engagement in Greece during the protracted post-2009
eurozone crisis. In so doing, it looks at the crisis as a critical
juncture in Greece’s relations with its nationals abroad. The
contributors in this book explore aspects of diaspora engagement,
including transnational mobilisation, homeland reform, the
role of diasporic institutions, crisis driven migration, as well
as, comparisons with other countries in Europe. This book provides
a compelling and original interdisciplinary study of contemporary
diaspora issues, through the lens of an advanced economy and
democracy facing a prolonged crisis, and, as such, it is a
significant addition to the literature on European diasporas.
This is a rich yet succinct account of an underexplored story: the
consequences of the Great War for the region which ignited it. It
offers a fascinating tapestry: the collapse of Empires, the birth
of Turkey and Yugoslavia, Greece as both victor and loser,
Bulgaria's humiliating defeat; bitter memories, forced migrations,
territorial implications and collective national amnesias. The
legacies live on. The contributions in this volume significantly
enhance the debate about how the Great War is remembered in South
East Europe, and why it still evokes such strong emotions and
reactions, more than a century after its beginnings.

What are the consequences of Yugoslavia’s existence – and
breakup – for the present? This book reflects on this very
question, identifying and analysing the political legacies left
behind by Yugoslavia through the prism of continuities and ruptures
between the past and present of the area. After the collapse of
Yugoslavia, it’s former states adopted a nation-building process
which opted to eradicate the past as such an approach seemed more
convenient for the new national projects. The new states adopted
new institutions, new market-oriented economic paradigms and new
national symbols. Yugoslavia existed for 70 years and to consider
the current political situation in post-Yugoslav states such as
Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro,
North Macedonia, and Kosovo without taking into account the legacy
and remnants of Yugoslavia is to discount a vital part of their
political history. This volume takes a multi-disciplinary and
multi-faceted approach to examining the legacy of Yugoslavia,
covering politics, society, international relations and economics.
Focusing on distinctive features of Yugoslavia including worker
self-management, the combination of liberalism and communism and
the Cold War policy of Non-Alignment, The Legacy of Yugoslavia
places Yugoslavia in historical perspective and connects the
region's past with its contemporary political situation.
