It proclaimed itself the \"Government of Hope\" and throughout the world symbolized the hope that radical change could be achieved through institutional politics. The referendum of July 2015 rejected the austerity imposed by the banks and the European Union but was followed by a complete reversal of the government's position and its acceptance of that austerity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe collapse of hope that accompanied the failure of the institutional Left opened the way to the return of the right-wing New Democracy Party, with a more aggressive program than ever. The essays collected in \u003cem\u003eBeyond Crisis\u003c\/em\u003e, among other things, form a case study of the \"Greek experiment\" that points to deeper implications concerning the global upsurge of disillusioned anger that has spurred the rise of far-right populism and support for strong leaders, exclusion of ethnic minorities, and greater \"racial purity.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Syriza government's dramatic crash showed the limits of institutional politics, a lesson apparently overlooked by the enthusiastic followers of Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders. But it also poses profound questions for those who reject state-centered politics. The anarchist or autonomist movement in Greece has been one of the strongest in the world, yet it has failed to have a significant impact in opening up alternative perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo how do we pick up the pieces? What direction should we follow from now on? How do we understand what happened and learn from it? The essays in this collection do not point to a single conclusion or path forward but rather raise questions that remain open about how to move beyond the current crisis amid a darkening sky of seeming impossibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Holloway\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of sociology whose book, \u003ci\u003eChange the World without Taking Power, \u003c\/i\u003ehas been translated into 11 languages. \u003cb\u003eKaterina Nasioka\u003c\/b\u003e is the coauthor of the book \u003ci\u003eGender and Journalism in Greece\u003c\/i\u003e and author of the book \u003ci\u003eCiudades en Insurrección\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003ePanagiotis Doulos\u003c\/b\u003e is a Phd candidate of Sociology based in Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 15, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45862713884869,"sku":"9781629635156","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/wlFqyItulv9781629635156.webp?v=1771571778","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/beyond-crisis-after-the-collapse-of-institutional-hope-in-greece-what-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
