This booklet experiences the rollercoaster first 12 months in workplace of the Coalition of the unconventional Left (SYRIZA), which for plenty of Europeans constituted the desire for a distinct Europe, past austerity and nationwide egocentrism. via a set of sharp and brief articles and interviews that severely chronicle the fast upward push of SYRIZA, the writer argues that SYRIZA isn't really rather a lot a brand new eu phenomenon, yet really a rejuvenated type of an outdated Greek phenomenon, left populism, which overpromises and infrequently offers. by means of placing the phenomenon of SYRIZA inside of a broader Greek and ecu context, within which political extremism and populism are more and more threatening liberal democracy, Mudde argues that Greece is neither a brand new Weimar Germany nor the way forward for Europe. As SYRIZA has did not carry the swap it promised, the single final query now's even if it could possibly determine itself within the Greek occasion approach. This e-book should be of use to scholars and students attracted to Greek politics, comparative politics, populism, and extremism.

In the coming months, Tsipras will have to choose what party he wants SYRIZA to become. Many in the EU are hoping for a modern social democratic party, pro-capitalism and pro-EU – what PASOK seemed to be transforming into before the economic crisis wiped it out. There are very few indications that this is his preferred option, however. In fact, the choice to continue the coalition with ANEL, rather than PASOKDIMAR or To Potami, seems to indicate that Tsipras is looking for another PASOK, the patriotic left-wing populist party of Andreas Papandreou: fiery in rhetoric, pragmatic in policy.
Remember, this is the same man who initiated the Greferendum to get the Greek people’s support for his opposition to a very similar deal. He then turned the resounding and unexpected 61 per cent ‘OXI’ (no) vote into a quick and deciding ‘NAI’ (yes) to an even worse deal. Just like the Greferendum, the new elections are not about democracy or the voice of the Greek people. They are about increasing the power of Tsipras within his own party, the increasingly misnamed SYRIZA, and within Greece. For the past eight months Tsipras has been governing against a growing part of his own party and fully dependent upon the opposition.
