  • 7. Political Development and Change
    F. Yaprak Gursoy 1 Democracy and Dictatorship in Greece Research Question: From its independence in 1821 until 1974 democracy in Greece witnessed several different types of military interventions. In 1909, the military initiated a short-coup and quickly returned to its barracks, allowing democracy to function until the 1920s. During the 1920s, the armed forces intervened in politics frequently, without establishing any form of dictatorship. This trend has changed in 1936, when the Greek military set up an authoritarian regime that lasted until the Second World War. In 1967, again, the Generals established a dictatorship, only to be replaced by democracy in 1974. Since then, the Armed Forces in Greece do not intervene in politics, permitting democracy to be consolidated. What explains the different behaviors of the military in Greece and the consequent regime types? This is the central puzzle this paper will try to solve. Studying Greece is important for several reasons. First, this case highlights an often understudied phenomenon, namely military behavior. Second, analyzing Greece longitudinally is critical: military behavior varied within the country in time. What explains the divergent actions of the same institution in the same polity? Looking at Greece’s wider history will allow showing how the same coalitional partners and how continuous economic growth led to different outcomes in different circumstances and what those different circumstances were. Finally, studying the divergent behavior of the Greek military helps to understand democratic consolidation in this country. Even though Greece has a record of military interventions and unstable democracies, since 1974, it is considered to have a consolidated democracy.

ABSTRACT The political role of Turkey’s military has been declining with the strengthening of the civilian institutions and the introduction of new political factors. Turkey’s political atmosphere has changed towards civilian control of the military. The research focuses on analysing the various political factors and their impact on the political role of the military. The military’s loss of political influence in handling political challenges will be assessed against the effectiveness of the military’s political ideology. The shift in civil-military relations will be detected through the AKP’s successful political economy and popular mandate. The EU as an external factor in dismantling the military’s political prerogatives will be assessed. Greece’s route toward democratization of its civil-military relations compared to Turkey.

Paper supervisor Prof. Doc. Mindaugas Jurkynas, Kaunas Vytautas Magnus University, Department of Diplomacy and Political Sciences. Faculty of Political Sciences. Euroscepticism (anti-EUism) had become a subject of analysis in contemporary European studies due to its effect on governments, parties and nations. With Greece being one of the nations in the center of attention on effects of Euroscepticism, it’s imperative to constantly analyze and research the Eurosceptic elements residing within the political elements of this nation. Analyzing Eurosceptic elements within Greek political parties, the goal is to: detect, analyze and evaluate the expressions of Euroscepticism in political parties of Greece. To achieve this: 1). Conceptualization of Euroscepticism is described; 2). Methods of its detection and measurement are described; 3). Methods of Euroscepticism analysis are applied to political parties of Greece in order to conclude what type and expressions of Eurosceptic behavior are present. To achieve the goal presented in this paper, political literature, on the subject of Euroscepticism: 1). Perception of European integration; 2) Measurement of Euroscepticism; 3). Source of eurosceptic behavior; 4). Application of Euroscepticism; is presented in order to compile a method of analysis to be applied to current active Greek political parties in a duration of 2014-2015 period.

Tassis1 Abstract This paper reevaluates the European process of Greece since the end of the civil war until 2012 when the post – dictatorship party system seems to change in a fundamental way. The paper argues that the European perspective of the country is based mainly on political and not on economic criteria during both the pre- dictatorship and the Metapolitefsi period, on the doctrine “Greece belongs to the West” in order to ensure that Greece will remain at the western economic system. After the fall of the dictatorship PASOK managed to express the radicalism of the Greek society for a new political party system and the strong opposition about the European prospect of the country. However, since the 1980’s the policy of the socialist party towards the EU has changed. Since then, drastic transformations take place in the Greek party system as the mass structure of the parties was undermined and the cartelization of politics became the basic paradigm, along with the strong influence of private mass media. The analysis concludes that the political crisis which coexists to the economic crisis seems to explain the collapse of the Metapolitefsi party system and the objections towards the EU.

It is only now, over two decades later, that literature is beginning to emerge to explore the ways in which the welfare state informs, and is informed by, territorial identity and the politics of regionalism.

South European Society and Politics, (doi:10.1080/13608746.2016.1239671) This is the author’s final accepted version. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/128645/ Deposited on: 20 September 2016 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk33640 SYRIZA’s electoral rise in Greece: protest, trust and the art of political manipulation Abstract Between 2010 and 2015, a period of significant political change in Greece, the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA), a minor party, achieved and consolidated major party status. This article explores the role of political strategy in SYRIZA’s electoral success. It argues that contrary to accepted wisdom, targeting a ‘niche’ constituency or protesting against the establishment will not suffice for a minor party to make an electoral breakthrough. SYRIZA’s case demonstrates that unless a minor party is ready to claim that it is willing and able to take on government responsibility, electoral advancement will not be forthcoming. The success of SYRIZA’s strategy can be attributed to favourable electoral demand factors and apt heresthetic manipulation of issue dimensions. Keywords: SYRIZA, Tsipras, Memorandum, minor parties, radical left, Greek party system, heresthetics Word count: 11,947 From a party lifespan perspective (Pedersen 1982), over the course of the last half century a swathe of minor parties have managed to cross both the threshold of representation and that of relevance, meaning that they have become parties with an established presence in legislative politics as well as parties with coalition potential or ‘blackmail’ potential if in opposition (Sartori 1976).
