10:00h

Activitat realitzada

Localització:

CIDOB, sala Jordi Maragall, Elisabets 12,08001 Barcelona

Organitzat per:

CIDOB i ELIAMEP amb el suport del programa Europe for Citizens

L’objectiu del seminari és analitzar la transformació de les narratives sobre Europa i Grècia com a conseqüència de la crisi grega i les propostes de reforma que s’han presentat tant a Atenes com a Brussel·les. El seminari parteix de la premissa que la crisi grega ha donat lloc a la transformació del discurs polític sobre Europa de les principals forces polítiques a Grècia i el govern de Syriza, qui al seu torn ha tractat de transformar les polítiques i prioritats de l’Eurozona després de la crisi. De la mateixa manera, la Unió Europea té una visió diferent de si mateixa després de la crisi grega i ha presentat una sèrie de reformes per reestructurar les bases econòmiques i financeres de l’Eurozona i de la Unió en general.

09:15h Session 1: From Greece to Europe - A new European and foreign policy agenda

The aim of this session will be to explore the European and foreign policy agenda of the Greek government and the major political forces, as well as Greece’s political and economic demands to its European counterparts. Participants will analyse to what extent the demands of the Greek government have influenced the European policies to deal with the crisis and balanced mainstream pro-austerity policies. They will also address the geopolitical dimension of the crisis and Greece’s closer ties with non-Western powers.

The second session will be aimed at exploring the alliances that the Greek government has put forward with mainstream and new political forces in order to achieve the reform agenda explored in the previous session. Participants will discuss the European foreign policy of the Greek government and other political forces, both under a government-to-government perspective and the relations with European institutions and among European political forces, including new left movements in other Southern European states.

This session will put forward the view from Brussels with the aim to analyse the political and economic reforms that have been discussed at the European level to deal with the Greek crisis and to overcome the structural inefficiencies of the political and economic governance of the Eurozone and the European Union at large. It will review the initiatives of Member States and the policy proposals of European institutions, both from a political perspective to tackle the democratic legitimacy deficit and an economic one aimed at redesigning the foundations of the Eurozone.
