Changes in European Relations

"When people think of Germany’s relation to Greece in the twentieth century, they think of the Nazi occupation and the sovereign debt crisis. But as Christos Tsakas reveals in this stimulating work, in between came West Germany’s sponsoring role in the political integration of Greece in Europe, without which recent austerity debates would never have been possible. The book successfully deconstructs a more simplistic “blame game” — as the best history often does."

This book employs an innovative approach to explore the topic of flexicurity and related changes in the working world, the importance of which for the overall economic and social development is gradually being recognised.
