Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society: Geography matters: The impact of austerity and the path to recovery

17 October 2011

On the OUPBlog, Vassilis Monastiriotis dicusses his research, published in Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society, on the uneven geography of the effects of austerity in the context of the Greek economic climate.

"After fifteen years of fast growth and, by Greek standards, monumental achievements (from EMU accession in 2001 to winning the UEFA Championship in 2004), Greece has found itself at the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008/09 again at the epicentre of global attention. But this time the publicity is unintended and for all the wrong reasons."
