At the same time, the Greek junta, a profoundly anti-modernist force, failed to cope with an evolving international agenda and the movement towards international cooperation. Denouncing it became a rallying point both for international organizations and for human rights activists, and it enabled the EEC to underscore the notion that democracy was an integral characteristic of the European identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is an original in-depth study of an under-researched subject and the multiple interactions of a complex era. It is divided into three sections: Part I deals with the interaction of the Colonels with state actors; Part II deals with the responses of international organizations and the rising transnational human rights agenda for which the Greek junta became a totemic rallying point; and Part III compares and contrasts the transitions to democracy in Southern Europe, and analyses the different models of transition and region-building, and how they intersected with attempts to foster a European identity. The Greek dictatorship may have been a parochial military regime, but its rise and fall interacted with signifi cant international trends and can therefore serve as a salient case study for promoting a better understanding of international and European trends during the 1960s and 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of Cold War studies, international history, foreign policy, transatlantic relations and International Relations, in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antonis Klapsis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138344117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138344112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Antonis Klapsis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087728062719,"sku":"9781138344112","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_edd51535-b5a6-4623-8ea1-4a758fd5be46.jpg?v=1769101069","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-greek-junta-and-the-antonis-klapsis-9781138344112","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
