Project Coordinator and Principal Researcher: Dr Lamprini Rori
Duration: September 2018 - September 2020
Overview
Political extremism has constantly been present in Greece since 1974. Despite the adoption of a counter-terrorist governmental strategy around the turn of the millennium which temporarily limited domestic terrorism, high and low-intensity violence remains a serious problem. By its unprecedented magnitude and durée, the ongoing financial crisis has triggered the emergence of circumstances that promote the toleration, acceptance and use of violence. The project focuses on different expressions of political violence in Greece from 2008 onwards, aiming to identify its repertoire and causes, the actors involved, their targets, aims and consequences. Among different dimensions and levels of intensity, we will concentrate on violent episodes of low intensity.
