Greece in the changing landscape of European integration: the spatial dimensions of a symbiotic relationship
Abstract
This article attempts an evolutionary reading of the ever-changing landscape of European integration and the course of Greece over the last 40 years, focusing on some key aspects of the spatial dimensions of development. The first section examines the period from Greece’s accession to the European Economic Community in 1981 to the transition to the European Union in 1993 and the Eurozone in 1999, with an emphasis on the formulation of cohesion policy and
the gradual adaptation of Greece to the Community acquis. The second section refers to the debate on the geography of European development and the spatial implications of Community policies, issues that have had a significant impact on spatial policies in Greece. The third section turns its attention to the 2000-2020 period by addressing the issues of territorial cohesion, territorial cooperation, and the resilience of regions to the crisis.
