Greece’s New Political Economy

"Greece's New Political Economy" traces the course of Greece from a postwar developmental state to its current participation in the Euro zone. Taking an innovative comparative approach, George Pagoulatos examines the political economy of financial interventionism and liberalization, banking politics, relations between the government and central bank, the winners and losers of financial reform, the effects of globalization and EMU and the implications of the new economic role of the state. This book will be a useful reference work for anyone seeking to understand the Greek political economy in the light of major contemporary debates.
