Policy Challenges in ‘Post-Crisis’ Greece

Abstract

To what extent have South European eurozone states moved on from the austerity agenda of the crisis period? Are we seeing a new rebalancing of policy priorities between external commitments and domestic demands? Similarly, have governments’ priorities for privileging some social groups over others changed? Have there been changes in processes of policymaking and implementation? These are the broader questions to be examined in this panel focusing on the case study of Greece, the South European country most affected by the crisis period. A year after Greece's bailout exit, what kinds of policy challenges is this country facing? And what can they tell us about the extent to which this country really has entered a new 'post-crisis' phase?
