Summary/Abstract |
LAZY like all other South Europeans, Greeks have been living beyond the means for many years. This is what the core EU countries (Germany in the first place) and the United States think about the roots and causes of the grave economic crisis in Greece. This answers the first question. The answer to the second has been already supplied by the so-called friends of Greece from among the EU members and the notorious "masters of disasters" of the IMF: The Greeks should trim social spending, tighten their belts and wait for the light at the end of the tunnel.

Summary/Abstract |
Until today the January 1996 Greek-Turkish crisis over the sovereignty status of two Southeast Aegean islets remains the pick point of Greek-Turkish antagonism. In this article, the author assesses the role of Greek military intelligence during the crisis. He argues that Hellenic intelligence did not anticipate a confrontation with Turkey over two uninhabited islets. Eventually, the MoD mobilised a disproportionate number of ships in the Aegean to defend Greek sovereignty over the Imia islets. As the crisis unfolded, the Greek prime minister became frustrated by the inability of Greek intelligence services to confirm a Turkish landing on the second Imia islet. The author shows that during the crisis hours of 31 January 1996, the lack of tactical intelligence on Turkish deployment had a direct impact on the assessment of the operational status of the Greek armed forces and on the planned crisis response. Ultimately, rather than causing an acute sense of vulnerability, fear, and an aggressive response, the lack of intelligence led to a de-escalation of the crisis.

The essay underscores the potential consequences of inattention to emerging threats to financial stability, and warns that no economy is too small to have huge implications for broader economic stability.

Apart fom broader global financial crisis of 2007 and crisis in the Eurozone, there are many domestic factors responsible for this crisis; Greeceās turbulent political past and complex and populist economic policies forced the nation to increase its public debt and deficit.
