Product Information

Just a few years ago Greece appeared to be a politically secure nation with a healthy economy. Today Greece can be found at the center of the economic maelstrom in Europe. Beginning in late 2008 the Greek economy entered a nosedive that would transform it into the European country with the most serious and intractable fiscal problems. Both the deficit and the unemployment rate skyrocketed. Quickly thereafter Greece edged toward a pre-revolutionary condition as massive anti-austerity protests punctuated by violence and vandalism spread throughout Greek cities. Greece was certainly not the only country hit hard by the recession but nevertheless the entire world turned its focus toward it for a simple reason: the possibility of a Greek exit from the European Monetary Union and its potential to unravel the entire Union with other weaker members heading for the exits as well. The fate of Greece is inextricably tied up with the global politics surrounding austerity as well. Is austerity rough but necessary medicine or is it an intellectually bankrupt approach to fiscal policy that causes ruin? Through it all Greece has staggered from crisis to crisis and the European central bank's periodic attempts to prop up its economy fall short in the face of popular recalcitrance and negative economic growth. Though the catalysts for Greece's current economic crises can be found in the conditions and events of the past few years one can only understand the factors that helped to transform these crises into a terrible political and social catastrophe by tracing Greece's development as an independent country over the past two centuries. In Greece: What Everyone Needs to Know Stathis Kalyvas an eminent scholar of conflict Europe and Greece begins by elucidating the crisis's impact on contemporary Greek society. He then shifts his focus to modern Greek history tracing the nation's development from the early nineteenth century to the present. Key episodes include the independence movement of the early nineteenth century the aftermath of World War I (in which Turkey and Greece engaged in a massive mutual ethnic cleansing) the German occupation of World War II the brutal civil war that followed the postwar conflict with Turkey over Cyprus the military coup of 1967 and-finally-democracy and entry into the European Union. The final part of the book will cover the recent crisis in detail. Written by one of the most brilliant political scientists in the academy Greece is the go-to resource for understanding both the present turmoil and the deeper past that has brought the country to where it is now.
