Etienne, Julien, (2013), “Controlled negative reciprocity between the state and civil society: the Greek case”, Hellenic Observatory of the European Institute at the LSE, Ιούνιος.

This article intends to bridge this gap by discussing state-society relationships in Greece as they can be understood from a pattern of minor illegalities from …Read More
Why Do Governments Default, And Why Don’t They Default More Often?
Buiter, Willem and Rahbari, Ebrahim, (2013), “Why Do Governments Default, And Why Don’t They Default More Often?”, Centre for Economic Policy Research, Μάιος. This paper considers the economic and political drivers of sovereign default, focusing on countries rich enough to render sovereign default a ‘won’t pay’ rather than a ‘can’t pay’ phenomenon. Unlike many private contracts, sovereign debt contracts rely almost exclusively on self-enforcement rather than on third-party enforcement. Among …Read More

Greece, fascism and beyond
Lekakis, Eleftheria, (2013), “Greece, fascism and beyond”, Open Democracy – Free Thinking for the World, 29 Μαΐου. Fascism has spread over the mainland of the Greek geography, the islands of bellowing winds and the mentality of a small, scared, disappointed and disillusioned part of the population. It has brought an anti-democratic beast into the heart of a previously, arguably, more democratic nation. The worst thing for me are the statements …Read More

Time to move north?
Barslund, Mikkel, Busse, Matthias, (2013), “Time to move north?”, CEPS Commentaries, 27 Μαΐου. A staggering one out of every four young people is presently unemployed in Spain. And comparable numbers in Greece, Portugal and Italy are hardly more encouraging. Germany, on the other hand, enjoys a historically low youth unemployment rate of 8% and is experiencing skill shortages in some occupations. Against this background, this Commentary calls upon the European …Read More

They belonged to a global institution, the International Monetary Fund, and to a pair of regional ones, the European Commission and the European Central Bank. Their mission was to negotiate the terms and conditions of a financial bailout of Greece. A …Read More
