Studies on Southeastern Europe and the Greek Econom

We are experiencing a phase of profound restructuring of world capitalism. Several phenomena and developments lead us to observe a restructuring and crisis that take place upon the previous phase of globalization. In our view, the current global crisis is a socioeconomic “gameplay†of planetary reach, where the balanced and healthy reproduction of the past globalization is over. Moreover, we should notice that this theoretical approach cannot be a superficial or sporadic one but structural and systematic.The main conceptual thread of this book argues that, in every substantial contemporary approach to globalization, we must understand the particular historical/evolutionary nature of the global socioeconomic space in its unity. We must examine together, in their dialectical adaptation and co-evolution, all the dynamic dimensions: economic, technological, social, and geopolitical.In this context, the study of geo-economic and geopolitical dynamics in Southeastern Europe and Greece invites us to examine many partial dynamic dimensions. These dynamics unify the levels of spatial analysis (local, national, international, and global), competitiveness (articulated in micro-meso-macro level), and development (both in terms of firms, various sectors of economic activity, and business ecosystems).
