Greek politics: economic crisis or crisis of democracy?

Vasilopoulou, S. and Halikiopoulou, D. (2015) Greek politics: economic crisis or crisis of democracy? World Affairs, 178 (3).

Abstract/Summary

Greece’s economic instability has become the Western world’s longest-running monetary crisis. Will Germany allow the EU to keep propping up Greece’s unstable financial system? Will the country leave the eurozone? Will such a departure, if it occurs, unravel the idea of “Europe”? All valid questions. But behind them stands another equally profound social and political crisis that has made Greece the weak man of Europe.
