RONALD REAGAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES On behalf of my fellow Americans, I am delighted to welcome you to the United States and to our nation's capital, and I am honored to have this opportunity to speak again to your distinguished members. I say honored because I believe your institutions, the World Bank and affiliates, and the International Monetary Fund, serve noble purposes. There can be no higher mission than to improve the human condition and to offer opportunities for fulfillment in our individual lives and the life of our national and world communities. You are the leaders of the world commu­ nity in bringing a better life to the diverse and often tragically poor people of our planet. You have worked tirelessly to preserve the framework for international economic cooperation and to generate confidence and compe­ tition in the world economy. The unending quest for economic, social and human improvement is the basic drive that inspires and unites all of us. In 1945, when your great institutions were established, the civilized world had been brought to its knees by a wave of totalitarian violence that inflicted suffering, sacrifice, and the suppression of human rights on millions of innocent people. Security, freedom and prosperity were very much on the minds of the citizens of the world in 1945. They should be on our minds today. The institutions you represent could not have been born, could not have flourished-and may I add, will not survive-in a world dominated by a system of cruelty that disregards individual rights and the value of human life in its ruthless drive for power. No state can be regarded as pre-eminent over the rights of individuals. Individual rights are supreme. In this civilization we have labored so faithfully to resurrect, preserve, and enhance, let us be ever mindful: it is not just development and prosperity, but ultimately our peace and freedom that are always at stake. Too often, the demands of prosperity and security are viewed as competitors when, in fact, they are complementary, natural, and necessary allies. We cannot prosper unless we are secure, and we cannot be secure unless we are free. The goals of the great international,

Desde entonces, el ‘Partido Nacional’ (PN) ha estado constantemente en el poder y a menudo es criticado como autoritario y corrupto. Dada la falta de imperio de la ley y de seguridad jurídica, era poco probable que las elecciones de noviembre de 2017 fueran libres y justas. En efecto, la victoria de Juan Orlando Hernández (JOH), quien ha estado en el poder desde 2014, fue cuestionada por sospecha de manipulación electoral.

    Title The permanent campaign strategy of Greek Prime Ministers (1996–2011) Candidate Panagiotis Koliastasis Degree This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 4 Abstract Various academic authors have analysed the implementation, the causes and the impact of the permanent campaign strategy by political executives in presidential and parliamentary systems, notably the United States and United Kingdom. This study builds on this literature and extends the research on the permanent campaign in the European parliamentary majoritarian context by examining contemporary Greece as a national case study. In particular, the study addresses three questions. First, did contemporary Greek Prime Ministers adopt the permanent campaign strategy? Second, why did they do so? Third, what impact did the implementation of the permanent campaign have on their public approval? The research focuses on the cases of three successive Prime Ministers in Greece: Costas Simitis (1996–2004), Kostas Karamanlis (2004–2009) and George Papandreou (2009-2011). Simitis and Papandreou were leaders of the centre-left PASOK, while Karamanlis was the leader of the centre-right New Democracy. The study finds that all three Prime Ministers undertook the permanent campaign strategy in order to maintain public approval, aligning themselves with their British and American counterparts. They established new communication units within the primeministerial apparatus, consulted with communication professionals to form a coherent communication
