It lasted a mere eight weeks, faced heavy opposition from both the opposition elites and the civil society and eventually collapsed by a military hard-liners' coup. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book argues that the failure of the 'Markezinis experiment' paved the way for the actual transition of 1974 as it happened. Using British and American archival resources, as well as unique private archives and personal interviews, the book concludes by briefly seeking to trace some potential alternative paths for the failed self- transformation attempt, and by accounting for the long-term consequences of the failure of the 'Markezinis experiment'.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIoannis Tzortzis is Teaching Fellow in Political Science at the University of Birmingham\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 29, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45645943963750,"sku":"9780755637225","price":91.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/nR6-Si8SK69780755637225.webp?v=1779396680","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/greek-democracy-and-the-junta-regime-crisis-and-the-failed-transition-of-1973-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
