SUMMARY:Georgios Karyotis\, "Culture Wars? Affective Polarisation and Emerging Political Cleavages in Crises-Ridden Greece"
DESCRIPTION:Georgios Karyotis (University of Glasgow)\, “Culture Wars? Affective Polarisation and Emerging Political Cleavages in Crises-Ridden Greece” \nDiscussant: Manos Matsaganis (Polytechnic University of Milan) \nResearch series on Modern Greek Studies organised by the British School at Athens and the Greek Politics Specialist Group \nOrganisers: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) and Lamprini Rori (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens) \nHost: John Bennet (Director of the British School at Athens) \nAbstract \nRecent polarising events and protest movements in Greece’s modern history\, such as the 2015 referendum\, the Prespes agreement with the Former Yugoslavic Republic of Macedonia\, or the measures introduced by the government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic\, indicate that novel political conflicts have emerged among the Greek public\, paralleling developments elsewhere. Often\, these conflicts are claimed to represent groups of citizens with antagonistic worldviews\, pointing towards a broader cultural conflict fuelled by appeals to emotions and group identification. The impact of these on political behaviour and the extent to which the politicisation of cultural social identities is re-aligning the ideological and political landscape has received scant attention in Greece due to a paucity of available public opinion data. This paper analyses original and historical survey evidence to situate developments in Greek public opinion since the early 1990s\, focussing on how cultural issue cleavages have realigned around new partisan identities\, in the context of the economic\, refugee and pandemic crises – and its implications for political behaviour. \n  \nWebinar registration: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_UhBZYE_6SSOFCWIBtOrFRQ \nMonday 30th May\,  5.00pm (UK) / 7.00pm (Athens)

SUMMARY:Dimitris Tziovas\, "Reframing Metapolitefsi: Transitions and Identity"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Dimitris Tziovas (University of Birmingham)\, “Reframing Metapolitefsi: Transitions and Identity” \nAbstract \nThe event aims to offer a new perspective on the period from junta to crisis based on the new book by Dimitris Tziovas\, titled Greece from Junta to Crisis: modernization\, transition\, diversity The recent economic crisis in Greece has triggered national self-reflection and prompted a re-examination of the political and cultural developments in the country since 1974. While many other books have investigated the politics and economics of this transition\,  the book turns its attention to the cultural aspects of post-dictatorship Greece. By problematizing the notion of modernization\, it analyzes socio-cultural trends in the years between the fall of the junta and the economic crisis\, highlighting the growing diversity and cultural ambivalence of Greek society. With its focus on issues such as identity\, antiquity\, religion\, language\, literature\, media\, cinema\, youth\, gender and sexuality\, this study is one of the first to examine cultural trends in Greece over the last fifty years. Aiming for a more nuanced understanding of recent history\, it offers a fresh perspective on current problems. \nDiscussant: Irene Martin (Universidad Autonoma de Madrid) \nOrganisers: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) and Lamprini Rori (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens) \nHost: John Bennet (Director of the British School at Athens) \nResearch webinar series on Modern Greek Studies organised by the British School at Athens and the Greek Politics Specialist Group \nAll seminars are online. \nPlease register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OWPf55AjSEOfZi7CXYi_Uw \nMonday 4th April\, 5.00pm (UK) / 7.00pm (Athens)

SUMMARY:Stella Ladi\, "The Role of Experts in Crisis Management and Public Trust: Evidence from a public survey across four European countries"
DESCRIPTION:Stella Ladi (Panteion University/Queen Mary)\, “The Role of Experts in Crisis Management and Public Trust: Evidence from a public survey across four European countries” \nAbstract \nWhile experts are at the forefront of government efforts to manage the COVID-19 pandemic\, little research has been done on how expert involvement has affected levels of public trust towards crisis-management policies. Employing a public opinion survey conducted across four European countries\, Germany\, Greece\, Sweden and the UK we show that all four countries experienced an increase in public trust towards experts and evidence-informed policies during the pandemic’s first year. The analysis attributes this increase to the technocratic legitimacy thesis and not to a “rally-round-the-flag” effect as most of the literature suggests. The paper offers insights into how expert input affects public trust during crises and on whether citizens favour expert involvement in policymaking during such periods. Our analysis holds lessons for politicians by demonstrating how evidence-informed policies can aid them to regain public trust during and after crises. \nDiscussant: George Pagoulatos (Athens University of Economics and Business/ELIAMEP) \nResearch webinar series on Modern Greek Studies organised by the British School at Athens and the Greek Politics Specialist Group \nOrganisers: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) and Lamprini Rori (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens) \nHost: John Bennet (Director of the British School at Athens) \nAll seminars are online. \nPlease register here to participate: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Rvte6U0-Tl27i52sQW1pOw \nMonday 14th February\, 5.00pm (UK) / 7.00pm (Athens)

SUMMARY:Iosif Kovras\, ‘Who’s sorry now? Explaining (Non) Apologies in Post-Crisis Europe’
DESCRIPTION:Iosif Kovras (University of Cyprus)\, ‘Who’s sorry now? Explaining (Non) Apologies in Post-Crisis Europe’ \nAbstract \nIn the aftermath of the recent financial meltdown\, politicians and bankers apologized for their role in the crisis in some European countries but not others. While in Ireland former prime ministers\, senior ministers\, state officials and bankers offered their apologies for their actions or omissions in the run-up to the crisis\, their counterparts in other European countries with similar background conditions\, such as Greece\, Portugal\, Spain\, and Cyprus\, did not. To understand why\, the paper draws on an in-depth comparative analysis of the most representative case of apologies (Ireland) and non-apologies (Greece). This is coupled with the analysis of a new repository of all recorded official apologies in six European countries\, and dozens of interviews with national stakeholders (former ministers\, state officials\, bankers etc.). While the public and academic debates on post-crisis accountability have been dominated by the absence of bankers’ prosecutions\, very limited attention has been paid to the role of official apologies. Shedding light on the rationale (or lack thereof) of apologies in the aftermath of a financial meltdown is significant\, yet understudied. As the paper shows\, apology could be seen as a symbolic gesture aiming at restoring state-society relations of trust broken by the crisis. The paper contributes to the growing scholarly debates on official apologies by expanding the scope to include the hitherto unexplored area of post-crisis accountability. \nDiscussant: Stathis Kalyvas (University of Oxford) \nResearch webinar series on Modern Greek Studies organised by the British School at Athens and the Greek Politics Specialist Group \nOrganisers: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) and Lamprini Rori (University of Exeter) – Hosted by the British School at Athens \nPlease register to participate in this event: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Ue19xLCATh2qBGzpVRLGww \nMonday 21 June\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:Susannah Verney \, ‘Greek Euroscepticism after a Decade of Crises: Researching Public Opinion through Eurobarometer Surveys'
DESCRIPTION:Susannah Verney (University of Athens) \, ‘Greek Euroscepticism after a Decade of Crises: Researching Public Opinion through Eurobarometer Surveys‘ \nAbstract \nThe Eurobarometer surveys published biannually by the European Commission offer time data series tracking public opinion towards the European integration project over time. This paper focuses on mass attitudes in Greece during the period 2010-2020\, a decade of drama in Greek-EU relations which had a major impact on public opinion. To what extent have three successive sovereign bailouts\, the refugee/migrant crisis and the current covid pandemic nourished societal mistrust of the EU in Greece? How far has this developed into an openly eurosceptic stance? And what are the implications for the future of Greek-EU relations? \nDiscussant: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) \nResearch webinar series on Modern Greek Studies organised by the British School at Athens and the Greek Politics Specialist Group \nOrganisers: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) and Lamprini Rori (University of Exeter) – Hosted by the British School at Athens) \nPlease register to participate in this event: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bTP0JQmGQhmN6GTOrz3-4w \nMonday 14 June\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:Antonis Ellinas \, ‘Antifascism in Greece: Actors\, resources\, and tactics’
DESCRIPTION:Dr Antonis Ellinas (University of Cyprus)\, ‘Antifascism in Greece: Actors\, resources\, and tactics’ \nDiscussant: Vasiliki Georgiadou (Panteion University) \nResearch webinar series on Modern Greek Studies organised by the British School at Athens and the Greek Politics Specialist Group \nOrganisers: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) and Lamprini Rori (University of Exeter) – Hosted by the British School at Athens) \nAbstract \nDr Ellinas writes: “The voluminous literature on the far right largely treats it as a national and discursive phenomenon. I examine\, instead\, local and organizational aspects of right-wing extremism. I focus on the subnational development of right-wing extremist party organizations to turn attention to how local societies respond to extremism. I discuss the societal responses to right-wing extremism in Greece by focusing on the main actors\, resources and tactics of the antifascist movement. I explore spatial and temporal patterns of antifascist mobilization and assess its effects on right-wing extremism.” \nPlease register here to participate: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__9QCx_MkQ5yYcCslKo_ruw \nMonday 19 April\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece) \n  \n

SUMMARY:Foteini Kalantzi \, ‘A ‘bare life’ in the borderlines of the Mediterranean’
DESCRIPTION:Dr Foteini Kalantzi (SEESOX\, University of Oxford)\, ‘A ‘bare life’ in the borderlines of the Mediterranean’ \nDiscussant: Dimitris Skleparis (Newcastle University) \nResearch webinar series on Modern Greek Studies organised by the British School at Athens and the Greek Politics Specialist Group \nOrganisers: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) and Lamprini Rori (University of Exeter) Hosted by the British School at Athens) \nABSTRACT\n\nMigration and refugee flows have been at the epicentre of political interest and agendas for quite some time. The latest developments in the geopolitical arena\, in particular the war in Syria and the displaced populations\, in conjunction with the instrumentalisation of migration as a diplomatic tool by states\, necessitate an informed research agenda on this particular subject. The politicisation of migration has been a central element in electoral campaigns and has been escalated as a serious matter of public concern\, posing an alleged danger to social cohesion\, economic prosperity\, national identity\, public health\, and public security. At the same time\, there is a perpetuation of unresolved issues at the external EU borders\, when looking at deaths in the sea or the dire living conditions in the reception centres. \nThe particular seminar will focus on the EU’s migration and asylum management in the Mediterranean\, and in particular the border practices and reception centres in Greece. The two overarching research questions are whether migration has been securitised in Greece\, that is if it has been formulated and addressed as a security threat and secondly\, which are those mechanisms that conduce to the securitisation of migration\, that is how this process has been coming about. \nThe wider rationale of the presentation lies within the ‘state of exception’ (Agamben 2005)\, whereby entire categories of citizens cannot be integrated into the political system. The erection of walls falls into the logic of framing migration as an issue of belonging within the polis – who belongs and who doesn’t\, who is included and who is excluded. Securitisation of migration achieved through raising issues of identity and safety plays a key role to the creation of the borderline of belonging. As Agamben puts it\, the logic of exception is deeply linked with the sovereign state. The sovereign power employs certain practices of securitisation producing a ‘bare life’\, the life of the ‘homo sacer’ a life banned from conventional juridical and political structures (Agamben 1995). \nPlease register here to participate: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_q48n02-FQw-utUh2uOi1HQ \n\nMonday 1 March\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)

SUMMARY:Dimitris Sotiropoulos\, ‘Populism\, party politics\, and the economic crisis: contrasting the case of Greece with the case of Portugal’
DESCRIPTION:Dimitris Sotiropoulos (University of Athens)\, ‘Populism\, party politics\, and the economic crisis: contrasting the case of Greece with the case of Portugal’ \nDiscussant: Lamprini Rori (University of Exeter) \nResearch webinar series on Modern Greek Studies organised by the British School at Athens and the Greek Politics Specialist Group \nOrganisers: Eirini Karamouzi (University of Sheffield) and Lamprini Rori (University of Exeter) – Hosted by the British School at Athens \nAbstract \nAmong all South European countries\, Greece underwent the most severe economic crisis in the 2010s which to an extent only can be attributed to pre-crisis populist governing policies. Yet the onset of the crisis gave rise to dormant populist reactions\, which combined with diffuse political discourse and the political party system. In contrast to the comparable case of Portugal\, populism in Greece was reflected in the emergence or strengthening of populist parties on the Left and the Right\, the adoption of populism as political discourse by an otherwise radical left-wing party (Syriza)\, and its rise to power in 2015 on the wave of social reactions to austerity policies. Populism was also manifested in the adoption of populist governing policies during Syriza’s government rule\, in coalition with the nationalist right-wing Anel party\, in 2015-2019. The spread of populism and its rise to power in Greece are analyzed in the light of the opposite experience of Portugal and are attributed to following causes: legacies of democratic practice after the 1974 transition to democracy\, traditions of political culture and the polarization of the party system\, in addition to the gravity and long duration of the recent economic crisis which was a catalyst for the sea change in Greek politics in 2011-2019. \nShort bio \nDimitri A. Sotiropoulos is professor of political science at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens\, Greece and Research Associate of the Hellenic Observatory of the London School of Economics. Since he obtained his PHD (Yale\, 1991)\, he has published in Greek and English on Greek\, South European and Southeast European politics and society\, focusing on democratization and its setbacks\, public bureaucracy\, civil society\, and the welfare state. In the academic year 2018-2019 Dimitri was visiting scholar at Harvard University’s Center for European Studies and the Seeger Center of Hellenic Studies\, Princeton University. In the same year he was visiting professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy (Tufts University). \nhttps://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__GbRPMfzTiOo9nVy3DDbpg \nMonday 5 October\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)
