The overcast skies and gloomy weather reports forecasting rain were not enough to dampen the spirits of the tens of thousands of Greek Americans who came out to Fifth Avenue to watch or march in the annual Greek Independence Day Parade. Although the threat of bad weather did affect parade turnout, the noticeably smaller crowd made up for its lack of num- bers with exuberance and enthusi- asm. People of all ages waved Greek flags and patriotism ran high, as shouts and cries on behalf of Mace- donia’s Greek identity and against the recent provocations made by Greece’s northern neighbor FY- ROM dominated the Parade. Greece’s recent veto of FYROM’s membership bid at last week’s NA- TO Summit in Bucharest because a mutually acceptable resolution on the latter’s name was not yet reached was reiterated throughout the Parade by emcees, speakers, TNH/COSTAS BEJ marchers and spectators.

  • The Unresolved 'Difference Over the Name':1 a Greek
    THE UNRESOLVED ‘DIFFERENCE OVER THE NAME’:1 A GREEK PERSPECTIVE Evangelos Kofos I. THE COURSE OF A NAME DISPUTE: FROM INDEPENDENCE TO UN MEDIATION AND THE INTERIM ACCORD 1. Introduction The Interim Accord between Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), which was signed in New York on 13 September 1995, initiated a process of normalising and laying the foundations for constructive relations of co-operation and trust between the two countries. Equally important, however, was its missing dimension: how to address a problem which had bedevilled the two countries for the previous four years (from September 1991 to September 1995). That problem was none other than the ‘difference over the name of the state’ — as the UN –––––––––––––––––––––––––– 1. ‘The difference over the name of the state’ was the phrase used in UN Secu- rity Council resolution 817/7.4.1993, which called upon Greece and FYROM to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Ten years on, ‘the difference over the name’ persists. 126 Evangelos Kofos Security Council phrased it — which ‘needs to be resolved in the interest of maintaining peaceful and good-neighbourly relations in the region’ (UN S/RES 817/1993).2 During the preceding period, 1993–5, the failure to resolve it had had a detrimental effect both on bilateral relations and on the wider Balkan region. This was especially the case when a Greek blockade was forced upon FYROM from March 1994 to September 1995. This study investigates the reasons why - despite a decade of diplomatic endeavours and a new era of constructive bilateral relations initiated in 1995 with the signing of an Interim Accord under UN auspices - the 1993 Security Council resolution on the name issue has not been resolved.

  • University of Exeter Discursive Institutionalism and Pension
    University of Exeter Discursive Institutionalism and Pension Reform in Greece 1990-2002: Appraising Europeanization from the ‘Bottom-up’ Submitted by Xiarchogiannopoulou Eleni to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics , in September 2010 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation for the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the ward of a degree by this or any other University. Eleni Xiarchogiannopoulou…………………………………………. Abstract The research puzzle of the thesis is to investigate how policy discourse mediates domestic policy adjustment consequent on commitments entered into at the domestic level by the European Union. Conceptually, it adopts the discursive institutionalist framework as developed by Vivien Schmidt and Claudio Radaelli. Empirically, it chooses a single-case study approach to focus on the Greek old-age pension policy adjustment during 1990-2002. The thesis also appraises the process of Europeanization. It adopts the ‘bottom-up’ approach to Europeanization as developed by Claudio Radaelli. Under this scope it’s analysis does not start from EU policy commitments as an independent variable, but from a system of interaction at the domestic level. Conceptually, the thesis looks at policy discourse as a consensus and legitimacy building resource. It focuses on the discursive interactions of key policy actors and analyses how they use policy discourse in order to justify the necessity and the appropriateness of policy adjustment in a given institutional context.

PIER FERDINANDO CASINI, ON THE OCCASION OF THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF DEMOCRACY Athens, 15 September 2008 Ladies and gentlemen, Dear friends, The first International Day of Democracy, instituted a year ago by the United Nations, could not be celebrated in a more fitting manner. Greece is not only the cradle of philosophy, science, historiography and fine arts; it is also the cradle of democracy. The Inter-Parliamentary Union - over which I have the honour of presiding - was actively involved in having this Day proclaimed. Indeed, it has been a topic of debate for some time now at the United Nations Headquarters. Allow me first of all to pay tribute, as the former Speaker of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, to the Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament, Dimitris Sioufas, a talented politician of great integrity and a personal friend. While he served as a minister, Speaker Soufias collaborated with my country in the gas pipeline project to link Asia and Europe, a project that would unite Greece and Italy by 2012. More generally, he was one of the architects of the European energy policy. The Hellenic Parliament is fortunate to have as its Speaker a person who is held in such high esteem. Another reason for my presence here today is the friendship and admiration I hold for the Deputy Speaker of this Parliament, Elsa Papadimitriou, who was recently elected Vice- President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, where she represents a very dynamic geopolitical group.
