商品簡介
Tying Greece to the West examines the reconstruction of Greece in the post-war era and how Greek foreign economic and political relations with the United States and West Germany developed, especially the Greek-German trade and the American and West German financial and aid policy. It posits that US-West German policy towards Greece took the shape of a 'burden-sharing' i.e. Bonn gradually took over certain policies vis-a-vis Greece which were originally formulated in Washington and that this took place with American connivance. Furthermore, it investigates which impact Greek foreign relations had on the domestic development, particularly in relation to the establishment of the dictatorship in 1967, the so-called Colonels Regime. It also analyzes the whole period of military regime and the relations between King Constantine II, the Colonels and the Americans.
