Beyond the Greek Paradox: Greece in the Era of Globalization
December 7, 2002
John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
Malkin Penthouse, Littauer Building, Penthouse Level
79 JFK Street, Cambridge, MA

Co-organized by the Kokkalis Program on Southeastern and East-Central
Europe, the Cambridge Foundation for Peace and the Press Office of the
Consulate General of Greece in Boston, with the Sponsorship of the Greek
Ministry of Press and Mass Media.


The point of departure for "Beyond the Greek Paradox" is the 1995
conference "The Greek Paradox," which explored Greece's promise versus
performance in the economic, political, and security spheres. Seven years
later, as Greece has cemented its position in the EMU, has emerged as a key
regional security broker, is about to assume the EU presidency, and is
preparing to host the Olympic Games of 2004, a reconsideration of the
nature and extent of the gap between Greece's potential and performance is
now appropriate. The aim, therefore, of the "Beyond the Greek Paradox"
symposium will be to analyze those competencies where Greece's performance
has improved, and also probe areas of continuing, or new, underperformance.
