Greek Foreign Policy: Past, Present and Future Strategies

Abstract

At the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century, Greek foreign policy is faced with old and new challenges. The Turkish threat, albeit in changing shape and form, provides continuity with a past that goes back to the period before the end of the Cold War in 1989. Turkey remains Greece’s main foreign policy preoccupation. Dealing with the Turkish problem has consumed enormous Greek resources, financial and diplomatic, and it seems that this will remain the case for some time to come.
