Introduction: Eurozone and the Greek economic crisis in 2020: current challenges and prospects

Abstract

ABSTRACT Ten years after the outbreak of economic crisis in Greece, it is deemed necessary to redefine the economic and political conditions in Greece and to answer the question of whether Greece has succeeded in overcoming the crisis. For this reason, the main objective of this special issue entitled ‘Eurozone and the Greek Economic Crisis in 2020: Current Challenges and Prospects’ is to analyze and re-examine the current economic and political conditions in Greece in various policy areas and to determine whether Greece has succeeded in achieving the last decade objectives both politically and economically. In this special issue we follow rather an interdisciplinary approach with a special focus on political economy which gives us the opportunity to examine the issue of the economic crisis in Greece, through a wider field of understanding.
