He was the weakest of the postjunta prime ministers, and his government was rocked by scandals and allegations. His governance style became his own undoing, reflecting his management inexperience and his deference to his senior ministers. The neglect of the cabinet system undermined his control of government policy The authors’ analysis raises the question why critical moments did not become junctures of lasting change. All five prime ministers had opportunities for change, but despite partial reform, there has been no lasting change in the administration of the core executive. The government remained segmented, unable to exercise control and coordination. The absence of real and enduring change is a manifestation of the robustness of the strategic and cultural traditions described in the introductory chapter of the book. I agree with the authors that this book is “the most extensive academic investigation in the inner workings of the Greek government.” It is a timely contribution to the literature on Greece, a book that ought to be read carefully by those in a position of authority and responsibility to implement the reforms agreed to with the troika. Otherwise, there will be no light at the end of the tunnel for Greece.","PeriodicalId":298924,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Quarterly","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128039051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Venizelos Professor of Contemporary Greek Studies at the London School of Economics’ European Institute, and Dimitris Papadimitriou, professor of politics at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. Their latest book, Prime Ministers in Greece: The Paradox of Power, is a timely analysis of the problems and challenges that confronted Greek prime ministers of the metapolitefsi (post-Junta Greece) as they attempted to establish operational control and coordination of government machinery to achieve their policy objectives. The volume centers on the five prime ministers who served between 1974 and 2009, before the onset of the financial crisis and the super vision and management of Greek public policy and finance by the socalled troika: the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Central Bank. Chapters 2 through 7 are case studies involving the premierships of Constantinos Karamanlis (1974 – 80), Andreas Papandreou (1981 – 89, 1993 – 96), Constantinos Mitsotakis (1990 – 93), Costas Simitis (1996 – 2004), and Costas Karamanlis (2004 – 9). Chapters 1 and 2 provide the book’s theoretical framework, while chapters 8 and 9 are devoted to conclusions, international comparisons, and implications for reform. This book was of special interest to me, having served during part of Andonis Samaras’s prime ministership as president of an independent Greek government agency from August 2012 until October 2014. It confirmed my experiences in the very sensitive and troubled field of higher education and the labyrinth of Greek bureaucracy. The volume is a primer on the pathology of Greek public administration, focusing on operations at the top of the government. A similar study of the pathology of Greek bureaucracy, of the","PeriodicalId":298924,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Quarterly","volume":"34 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134345704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

US policy was able to influence the course of events either bilaterally or multilaterally in the context of the Bretton Woods nexus of institutions and procedures. The central argument of this essay is that Washington's policy was formulated under various contradictory considerations. Cardinal among them was the necessity of preserving the basic requirements of the Bretton Woods regime. The stability of currency parities, particularly the safeguarding of the preeminent position of the dollar as an international reserve currency and its credibility against gold, dictated the continuation of orthodox monetary and fiscal policies. Political stability in Italy and Greece as a prop against political radicalization was a strategic consideration that militated against a strict application of a deflationary policy. The development of transatlantic relations with Charles de Gaulle's France posed a problem from an Allied perspective and was a factor that also militated against the strict application of a policy of monetary stability.","PeriodicalId":298924,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Quarterly","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127490687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
