SYRIZA

Focusing on the first year of SYRIZA's governance, the book critiques its rise as a symbol of hope for a different Europe, challenging austerity and nationalism. It presents a collection of articles and interviews that frame SYRIZA as a revitalized form of Greek left populism, which often overpromises. By contextualizing SYRIZA within broader trends of political extremism in Europe, it questions Greece's role in the future of European politics and examines whether SYRIZA can secure its place in the party system. Ideal for those studying Greek politics, populism, and extremism.
