{"product_id":"greek-democracy-and-the-junta-ioannis-tzortzis-9780755637225","title":"Greek Democracy and the Junta: Regime Crisis and the Failed Transition of 1973","description":"During the dictatorship of the Colonels in Greece, there was an attempt at self-transformation into some form of civilian rule in 1973: the so-called 'Markezinis experiment', named after the politician who assumed the task of heading the transition government and lead to elections. It lasted a mere eight weeks, faced heavy opposition from both the opposition elites and the civil society and eventually collapsed by a military hard-liners' coup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book argues that the failure of the 'Markezinis experiment' paved the way for the actual transition of 1974 as it happened. Using British and American archival resources, as well as unique private archives and personal interviews, the book concludes by briefly seeking to trace some potential alternative paths for the failed self- transformation attempt, and by accounting for the long-term consequences of the failure of the 'Markezinis experiment'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ioannis Tzortzis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0755637224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780755637225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.58d","brand":"Ioannis Tzortzis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945054404863,"sku":"9780755637225","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8ff601df-41ab-4eff-8807-00e94832e220.jpg?v=1681506517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/greek-democracy-and-the-junta-ioannis-tzortzis-9780755637225","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
