Deliverable Number 16 WORK PACKAGE 6 _ GM FOOD THE ROLE OF PARTICIPATION IN A TECHNO-SCIENTIFIC CONTROVERSY Larry Reynolds and Bronislaw Szerszynski with Maria Kousis and Yannis Volakakis 1 The Paganini Project Focussing on selected key areas of the 6th EU Framework Programme for Research and Technology, PAGANINI investigates the ways in which participatory practices contribute to problem solving in a number of highly contentious fields of EU governance. PAGANINI looks at a particular dynamic cluster of policy areas concerned with what we call “the politics of life”: medicine, health, food, energy, and environment. Under “politics of life” we refer to dimensions of life that are only to a limited extent under human control - or where the public has good reasons to suspect that there are serious limitations to socio-political control and steering. At the same time, “politics of life” areas are strongly connected to normative, moral and value-based factors, such as a sense of responsibility towards the non-human nature, future generations and/or one‟s

    WALKING TOUR IN SITHONIA DAY 1: Neos Marmaras Arrival and transfer to the hotel. Dinner and accommodation in Neos Marmaras. DAY 2: Neos Marmaras - Parthenonas On our first long walk, we will visit the very old village of Parthenonas. The walker is given two alternative methods of ascent and descent, depending on one’s abilities. We will take a beautiful but strenuous route, which visits an old water mill and dam and then climbs straight up a ridge, through olive groves and forest, to reach high forest tracks leading to the village. The village, Parthenonas, goes back to the days of pirates, when the locals sought a high vantage point to protect them from danger. In addition, it is well known that Parthenonas town has nice taverns that anyone can enjoy. Overnight in Neos Marmaras. DAY 3: Porto Koufo – Kapros This easy walk starts at the beautiful natural harbor of Porto Koufo on the west coast of Sithonia.

  • Greece Before and After the Euro: Macroeconomics, Politics and the Quest for Reforms
    Department of Economics Athens University of Economics and Business WORKING PAPER no. 02-2021 Greece Before and After the Euro: Macroeconomics, Politics and the Quest for Reforms George Alogoskoufis February 2021 Πατησίων 76, 104 34 Αθήνα. Tηλ.: 210 8203303-5. E-mail: [email protected] / www.aueb.gr 76, Patission Street, Athens 104 34 Greece. Tel.: (+30) 210 8203303-5 Greece Before and After the Euro: Macroeconomics, Politics and the Quest for Reforms George Alogoskoufis* Athens University of Economics and Business Hellenic Observatory, London School of Economics February 2021 Abstract This paper analyses developments in the Greek economy before and after the euro. The main thesis is that the imbalances that led to the crisis of the post-2010 period were building up during the previous three decades and that their root causes were not merely economic, but social, structural, institutional and political. The fiscal imbalances created in the 1980s were not adequately addressed by the convergence policies of the 1990s, while the long-standing problem of low international competitiveness was further exacerbated by the failure to promote the necessary structural reforms. Greece's accession to the euro area with major structural and fiscal imbalances and low and deteriorating international competitiveness, led to a steep rise in its external indebtedness. The lopsided adjustment and the inadequacy of the reforms was due to domestic political and social constraints, both before and after euro area entry. In view of the institutional weaknesses of the euro area itself, the external imbalances ultimately led to the external debt crisis of 2010, the imposition of the economic adjustment programs and the ‘great depression’ of the 2010s.
