Κωνσταντινίδης, Νικήτας, (2013), “Η Μετάλλαξη του Ελληνικού Κομματικού Συστήματος”, www.greekpublicpolicyforum.org, 11 Ιουλίου. Παρά το οιονεί ελπιδοφόρο ξεκίνημα, η κυβέρνηση συνεργασίας μεταξύ Νέας Δημοκρατίας, ΠΑΣΟΚ και Δημοκρατικής Αριστεράς αποδείχτηκε βραχύβια και αντικαταστάθηκε από μία πιο συμπαγή δικομματική κυβέρνηση συναποτελούμενη από πολιτικά στελέχη της ΝΔ και του ΠΑΣΟΚ (σε μια προσυμπεφωνημένη αναλογία δύο προς ένα). Μέσα στα ασφυκτικά πλαίσια ενός αρτηριοσκληρωτικού προγράμματος λιτότητας, τα πρώτα ουσιαστικά βήματα προς την κατεύθυνση των διαρθρωτικών …Read More

Παγουλάτος, Γιώργος, (2013), “Ο Αδόλφος, ο Ωνάσης και η ευρωκρίση”, 21 Ιουλίου. Ποια θα ήταν η εξέλιξη των πραγμάτων εάν κάποιο κομβικό γεγονός είχε συμβεί διαφορετικά; Είναι συνήθης ο πειρασμός να σκεφτόμαστε ξανά την ιστορία ή τη ζωή στη βάση υποθετικών σεναρίων (what if), που αντιστρέφουν την πραγματικότητα. Οπως έχει γραφτεί μεταξύ αστείου και σοβαρού, εάν κάποιος, την κρίσιμη στιγμή, είχε αναφωνήσει «πολύ ωραίος πίνακας, Αδόλφε!», ενθαρρύνοντας τον Χίτλερ να …Read More

IMF, (2013), World Economic Outlook-Update, July.

IMF, (2013), World Economic Outlook-Update, July. Global growth is projected to remain subdued at slightly above 3 percent in 2013, the same as in 2012. This is less than forecast in the April 2013 World Economic Outlook (WEO), driven to a large extent by appreciably weaker domestic demand and slower growth in several key emerging market economies, as well as a more protracted recession in the euro area. Downside risks …Read More
