    GENERAL ELECTION IN GREECE 7th July 2019 European New Democracy is the favourite in the Elections monitor Greek general election of 7th July Corinne Deloy On 26th May, just a few hours after the announcement of the results of the European, regional and local elections held in Greece, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras (Coalition of the Radical Left, SYRIZA), whose party came second to the main opposition party, New Analysis Democracy (ND), declared: “I cannot ignore this result. It is for the people to decide and I am therefore going to request the organisation of an early general election”. Organisation of an early general election (3 months’ early) surprised some observers of Greek political life who thought that the head of government would call on compatriots to vote as late as possible to allow the country’s position to improve as much as possible. New Democracy won in the European elections with 33.12% of the vote, ahead of SYRIZA, with 23.76%. The Movement for Change (Kinima allagis, KINAL), the left-wing opposition party which includes the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), the Social Democrats Movement (KIDISO), the River (To Potami) and the Democratic Left (DIMAR), collected 7.72% of the vote and the Greek Communist Party (KKE), 5.35%. Alexis Tsipras had made these elections a referendum Costas Bakoyannis (ND), the new mayor of Athens, on the action of his government. “We are not voting belongs to a political dynasty: he is the son of Dora for a new government, but it is clear that this vote is Bakoyannis, former Minister of Culture (1992-1993) not without consequence.

Emphasis is placed on diplomatic relations between the two traditional allies. The reactions of the military leaders of the regime in Athens and its representatives in Britain to policies pursued by London towards the establishment, consolidation and eventual demise of the colonels’ dictatorship are presented through the examination (for the first time) of official documents from both the UK and Greece. It is argued that the Greek military regime struggled to cultivate relations with Britain primarily for reasons of domestic and international prestige. Whereas Whitehall pursued a policy of “good working relations” with the junta in order to promote British interests vis-à-vis NATO, Cyprus and trade, the leadership in Athens was solely interested in using British support to gain legitimacy internationally and domestically.

  • My Greece. the Journey Inside Syriza
    Robert Misik My Greece. The Journey Inside Syriza. Days of Decision. While the Greek drama moved towards a decision, I travelled into the interior of the new Greece. Meetings with Alexis Tsipras, his closest aids, local activists, young businessmen, working-class militants and people, who just manage to survive. Translation: Barbara Stanzl (Spiralcat-Translations). “To our government,” Nikos shouts, slightly sarcastically. While we are lifting our beers, Katerina adds with an additional pinch of irony and a touch of bitterness, “It’s high time that we actually start to govern.” We’re sitting at the Café Stretto in Thessaloniki and the Greece Emergency crisis summit with EU Zone leaders from last Monday evening had just finished. The latest news is coming in. There are indications that Alexis Tsipras has in fact moved his position in the direction the creditors want and that an agreement isn’t far away. Details are still lacking at this point. The next morning laughter has been replaced by shock. Katerina Notopoulous’s mobile rings every minute. The 27 year old is a member of the central committee of the governing Syriza party. We actually wanted to take the day off and drive to the coast. „Thank you Merkel and Alexis. You’ve screwed up my day,“ she says, between two telephone calls, with a strained grin and a sour face. The calls are from two outraged party members who can’t believe that the Tsipras government could agree to a new and fatal austerity program of over eight billion euros. I’m tearing along the bumpy streets to Chalkidiki in our little Fiat.

  • Regime Change in the Aegean After the Second World War: Reconsidering the Foreign Influence
    Regime Change in the Aegean after the Second World War: Reconsidering the Foreign Influence Yaprak Gürsoy Post-Doctoral Fellow Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Social and Political Sciences Program Sabancı University Tuzla, Istanbul [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the 49th International Studies Association Convention San Francisco, CA 26-29 March, 2008 Draft: Please do not cite without permission. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Regime Change in the Aegean after the Second World War: Reconsidering the Foreign Influence Yaprak Gürsoy The “third wave” of democratization stimulated scholarly interest on how and to what extent international factors influence regime transitions.1 Past research focused on domestic causes of democratization and granted foreign actors only “an indirect and usually marginal role.”2 However, current studies started to direct their attention on the impact of Western actors on regime change and their policies of democracy promotion.3 Writing in 1992, one of the most prominent scholars of democratization, Larry Diamand, noted that “we stand at an extraordinary moment in history, a time of unprecedented movement to democracy.”4 The end of communism left democracy uncontested, increasing the numbers of transitions in the post-1990 era. This trend was followed by Bush administration’s pledge to promote democracy and the European Union’s positive role in stabilizing democracy in several East European nations. As a result of these developments, the growing literature on the external influences of regime change has focused primarily on the post-Cold War cases of democratization. However, important conclusions can be drawn by studying earlier regime transitions.
