The Greek Military Dictatorship
Berghahn Books (Verlag)
978-1-80073-174-5 (ISBN)
From 1967 to 1974, the military junta ruling Greece attempted a dramatic reshaping of the nation, implementing ideas and policies that left a lasting mark on both domestic affairs and international relations. Bringing together leading scholars from a range of disciplines, The Greek Military Dictatorship explores the junta’s attempts to impose authoritarian rule upon a rapidly modernizing country while navigating a complex international landscape. Focusing both on foreign relations as well as domestic matters such as economics, ideology, religion, culture and education, this book offers a fresh and well-researched study of a key period in modern Greek history.
Othon Anastasakis is the Director of South East European Studies at Oxford (SEESOX) and Senior Research Fellow at St Antony's College, University of Oxford. His most recent co-edited books include Diaspora Engagement in Times of Severe Economic Crisis: Greece and Beyond (Palgrave, 2022), The Legacy of Yugoslavia: Politics, Economy and Society (I.B. Tauris, 2020) and Balkan Legacies of the Great War: The Past Is Never Dead (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016).
