Abstract
This article sheds light on what drove Greece’s European policy in the aftermath of the dictatorship in 1974. Despite evident geostrategic and economic motivations, the article stresses the centrality of the political and democratic dimension.

Constantinos Karamanlis, the Greek prime minister, capitalized greatly on the prospect of EEC membership as part of his transition strategy to safeguard democracy.
