Postwar World Greece since 1945: Politics, Economy and Society, (Paperback)

The only history of Greece in English to be devoted to the period 1945-2000, and the first book to analyse the important developments since 1990, this introduction takes an analytical as well as chronological approach. Frequent comparisons are made with countries of western Europe (especially Italy, Portugal and Spain) and with other Balkan countries, in order to show how Greece converged with Western Europe and in what ways it remained unique or characteristically Balkan. It assumes no previous knowledge of the subject.
