Abstract

Greek history after the 1967-1974 dictatorship is characterized by a transition from a post‐civil war police state to democratic stability, known as "metapolitefsi". This process was to a large extent a reaction to the forceful socialist and communist movement, leading to a deeper integration of the traditional left in the “national backbone” of political life. At the same time, grassroots movements and a dynamic extra‐parliamentary left contested this political mutation and reinforced antagonistic struggles, on some occasions with spectacular results.
