Abstract

. This study attempts to provide insight into those factors which affect the level and composition of public expenditures in a developing country by conceptualizing the interrelationship of economic, political, and sociological factors. Changes in governmental expenditures in post‐war Greece are postulated to be a function of the underlying social and political currents as manifested through a process of social mobilization that comes to bear upon the political process and ultimately on decision‐making by government. The analysis presented here indicates that on the basis of selected indicators, mounting pressure by the increasingly mobilized population has, particularly between 1958 and 1967, influenced significantly the pattern of growth and composition of public expenditures in Greece.
