This book explores how Greece, uniquely among European nations, has a direct role in the three great geopolitical changes currently affecting Europe: European integration (Greece is an EU member), the wars of the Yugoslav succession (Greece is a Balkan state), and the changes in the European security system following the end of the Cold War (Greece is a NATO member). The contributors, who also bear in mind domestic factors, investigate Greek foreign policy in the 1990s in the context of these changes. They ask whether Greece is an awkward partner in the European Union; whether Greece will be able to remain an equal member of the EU; how it treats its minorities and political dissenters; and, controversially, whether Greek policy contributed to the Balkan crisis. This is the essential analysis of Greece's place in the current international system. Contributors in addition to the editors include: James Pettifer, Loukas Tsoukalis, Panayiotis Ioakimidis, George Tridimas, George Michalopoulos, Christos L. Rozakis, Stephanos Stavros, Thanos Veremis, Jonathan Eyal, Theodore A. Couloumbis and Prodromos Yannas. This original and wide-ranging study will provide students of politics and European Studies with a detailed picture of the shifts in Greece's international relations from a historical perspective, as well as contemporary views of Greece's current role in Europe.
