{"product_id":"britain-greece-and-the-colonels-1967-74-between-pragmatism-and-human-rights","title":"Britain, Greece and the Colonels, 1967-74","description":"The long history of Anglo-Greek relations has deservedly attracted much attention. One of its most controversial - yet least explored - phases was that spanning the Greek Colonels' seven-year military junta, from 1967-74. Drawing on a corpus of diverse, original and largely primary material, Maragkou provides a comprehensive analysis of British policy towards Greece during this tumultuous era. Not only does she contribute to the historiography of Anglo- Greek relations, but her book also serves as a case study of British foreign policy within the Cold War. And by demonstrating that national history can be best understood by analysing the relationship between a nation state and factors beyond its control, the conclusions drawn can be applied beyond the strictly regional or the exclusively bi- lateral, as they also fit into a transnational para- digm. It was in the 1960s when what we now term 'globalisation' was in full swing. Henceforward, no nation - and no foreign office - was an is- land: it was part of a whole, in which both state and non-state actors internationally played their part in the evolution of thinking on foreign affairs. Here is the key to understanding the tortuous history of Britain and the Greek Colonels - one that has many echoes in our own time.","brand":"C Hurst \u0026 Co Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32025426591827,"sku":"9781849043656","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781849043656.jpg?v=1765726223","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/britain-greece-and-the-colonels-1967-74-between-pragmatism-and-human-rights","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
