The scale of the response was humbling and posed an editorial dilemma, namely whether the pamphlet should be limited to a small number of indicative perspectives, perhaps favouring more established voices, or whether it should capture the full range of viewpoints. As two of the founding principles and core aims of the GPSG are to act as a forum for the free exchange of ideas and also to give voice to younger and emerging scholars, it was decided that all contributions that met our editorial standards of factual accuracy and timely

  • Golden Dawn and the Right-Wing Extremism in Greece
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Golden Dawn and the Right-Wing Extremism in Greece Lymouris, Nikolaos November 2013 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/106463/ MPRA Paper No. 106463, posted 08 Mar 2021 07:42 UTC Golden Dawn and the Right-Wing Extremism in Greece Dr Nikolaos Lymouris London School of Economics - Introduction There is an ongoing controversy as to whether extreme right has been a longstanding political phenomenon in Greece or whether it is associated with the ongoing economic crisis. The first view suggests that the extreme right ideology has been an integral part of modern Greek political history because of its tradition of far-right dictatorships. The other view emphasizes the fact that the extreme right in Greece never actually existed simply because of the lack of a nationalist middle class. In effect, the emergence of Golden Dawn is simply an epiphenomenon of the economic crisis. At the same time, a broad new trend was adopted not only by the mass media but also -unfortunately– the academia in order to expand – by using false criteria - the political boundaries of the extreme right, to characterize as many parties as possible as extreme right. In any case, the years after the fall of the Greek junta (from 1974 until today) there are mainly two right-wing parties in the Greek political life: the “United Nationalist Movement” (ENEK in its Greek acronym), a fridge organisation acted during the mid 80’s and has ceased to exist, and the Golden Dawn, whose electoral success provoked an important political and social debate.

    I n t e r n a t i o n a l FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2015 NATO opens training centre in Georgia amid Russia tensions TBILISI: NATO yesterday opened a training centre in Georgia as the ex-Soviet country eyes closer partnership with the Western military alliance amid tensions with Russia. The establishment of the NATO-Georgian Joint Training and Evaluation Center, to be based just outside the capital Tbilisi, is aimed at buttressing the small ex-Soviet country which fought a five-day war with Russia in 2008. “There is more Georgia in NATO and more NATO in Georgia,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at a joint news conference alongside Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili before the opening ceremony. Stoltenberg, who arrived in Tbilisi on Wednesday, said the centre would train both Georgian and NATO troops. “This centre will help Georgia to continue making its armed forces more modern and more capable of meeting 21st century challenges,” Stontelberg said at the opening ceremony in the Krtsanisi National Training Center outside Tbilisi. “It will be equally important in training Allied and partner troops,” he said in the presence of Georgia’s prime minister, pres- ident and top officials. Georgian Prime Minister Garibashvili stressed for his part that the centre would increase regional sta- bility and was not directed “against any neighbouring countries.” ATHENS: Popular Unity leader Panagiotis Lafazanis (left) gestures during a meeting with Greek President Prokopis Georgia has long sought full NATO membership and hopes to Pavlopoulos (center) at the Presidential Palace in Athens yesterday. — AFP be invited to join a Membership Action Plan (MAP), a formal step towards membership, at a NATO summit in Warsaw next year.

  • Syriza's Rise and Fall
    Interview: New Masses—13 stathis kouvelakis SYRIZA’S RISE AND FALL Syriza won power in January 2015 as an anti-austerity party—the most advanced political opposition so far to the hardening deflationary poli- cies of the Brussels–Berlin–Frankfurt axis. Six months later, the Tsipras government forced through the harshest austerity package Greece had yet seen. This trajectory was a predictable outcome of the contradiction embod- ied in Syriza’s programme: reject austerity, but keep the euro. Why was Tsipras so incapable of envisaging a course inside the eu but outside the Eurozone, the position of Sweden, Denmark, Poland and half a dozen other European countries? irst, one shouldn’t underestimate the popularity of the euro in the southern-periphery countries—Greece, Spain, Portugal—for whom joining the eu meant accessing political and economic modernity. For Greece, in particular, it meant Fbeing part of the West in a different way to that of the us-imposed post- civil war regime. It seemed a guarantee of the new democratic course: after all, it’s only since 1974 that Greece has known a political regime similar to other Western countries, after decades of authoritarianism, military dictatorship and civil war. The European Community also offered the promise of combining prosperity with a social dimension, supposedly inherent to the project, which sealed the political com- pact that emerged after the fall of the Junta. Joining the euro seemed the logical conclusion of that process.

  • The Rise of the Golden Dawn: the New Face of the Far Right in Greece
    From the SelectedWorks of Antonis A. Ellinas January 2013 The Rise of the Golden Dawn: The ewN Face of the Far Right in Greece Contact Start Your Own Notify Me Author SelectedWorks of New Work Available at: http://works.bepress.com/antonis_ellinas/12 The Rise of the Golden Dawn: The New Face of the Far Right in Greece Antonis A. Ellinas, University of Cyprus Abstract The article examines the rise of the one of the most extremist political parties in Europe, the Golden Dawn. It sketches the historical trajectory of the Greek far right, examines the ideological, organisational and voter profile of the Golden Dawn, and offers possible explanations for its breakthrough in the 2012 elections. The article shows how the economic crisis has brought about a massive realignment of the Greek electorate away from mainstream parties, giving rise to anti-system and anti- immigrant sentiments. The violent tactics of the Golden Dawn allowed the party to establish an anti-system and anti-immigrant profile, and capitalize on these sentiments. The future of the party will depend on its capacity to organisationally absorb future tensions between party pragmatists and idealists. Key words: Greece, Golden Dawn, National Socialism, far right, Michaloliakos, economic crisis, immigration, anti-system Introduction For a long time late democratized Southern European countries were thought to resist the rise of far right parties observed elsewhere. The legacy of authoritarianism and the absence of postindustrial welfare states presumably limited the electoral demand for the far right (Kitschelt 1995, pp. 52-54; Ignazi 2003, p. 196; Ellinas 2010, p. 38).
