'Europeanization' and the centre periphery: the case of Greece in the 1990s
This article discusses the notion of 'Europeanization' as it might apply to the position of Greece in the European Union. It advances three basic propositions: (i) that the domestic impact of EU integration can be differentiated along various dimensions; (ii) of particular relevance is differentiation between the centre and periphery; and (iii) that the impact of the EU in Greece can be gauged in terms of a series of inter-connected features: a Gramscian hegemony, external penetration of the state administration, dependence on EU aid, fragmentation, and a 'core executive' empowerment.
