It adopts both an analytical and chronological approach and shows how Greece has both converged with western Europe and remained distinctively Balkan. David Close writes clearly and forcefully, and presents a lively picture of the Greek political system, economic development, social changes and foreign relations. Aimed at readers coming to the subject for the first time, this is a readable and informative introduction to contemporary Greece. 410 0$aPostwar world. 607 $aGreece$xPolitics and government$y1974- 607 $aGreece$xPolitics and government$y1935-1967 607 $aGreece$xPolitics and government$y1967-1974 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a949.507/6 700 $aClose$b David$g(David H.),$0887883 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463763803321 996 $aGreece since 1945$91983255 997 $aUNINA
