In 1967, a coup in Greece brought the military to power. Numerous relations between the Federal Republic of Germany and Greece existed during the government of the junta (1967–1974). The scientific contributions in this volume illuminate the historical relations between Germany and Greece with a view to diplomacy, civil society and the media. Based on new archival research, the contributions in this book analyse the many layers and interconnections between the young democracy of the Federal Republic of Germany and Greece under the military junta. The volume shows how political actors pursued mainly economic interests while civil society stood up in solidarity for human rights. In order to broaden the view on transnational relations, the book combines texts from both German and Greek scholars.weiterlesen
