The Europeanization of Greece

Interest Politics and the Crises of Integration

by Kostas A. Lavdas

Published 1998337 pagesISBN 978-0-3121-7463-7

This book is an original analysis of the integration of Greece into the European Union. It examines the relations between the Greek state and European integration from the 1950s to the 1990s, focusing in particular on the interplay of EC/EU membership and domestic interest politics. The book assesses the impact of membership since Greece joined the Community in 1981 and also examines in depth the issue of prospective membership in Greece before then. Drawing on policy analysis, on theories of Europeanization and on the comparative politics literature on the crises of political development, the book puts forward a theoretical and empirical interpretation of the major phases in the Europeanization of the Greek state.

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Nonfiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.

Begin with its place in Nonfiction, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. Whose perspective organizes the story, and whose perspective remains outside it?
  2. Which sources or lived experiences carry the author’s central argument?
  3. How does the book change the way you understand its larger subject?
