Abstract
This chapter traces the turbulent relationship between Greece and European integration concentrating more on the years of full EU membership and the recent period of euro membership. It tries to explain the contradiction between strategic vision that has characterized Greece’s European policy over the long term, coupled with significant successes of Greek diplomacy, and repeated failures to conform with common rules, which in turn led to crises. Greece has a successful cosmopolitan elite and an inward-looking culture, weak economy and weak institutions, a long tradition of populism and a difficult neighbourhood that breeds insecurity. She needs a strong Europe more than most of her fellow members of the EU. She wants to be close to the core but finds it difficult to deliver the goods in a system designed by and for more developed countries. Having at long last exited in 2018 the quarantine imposed by her creditors through three successive economic memorandums, Greece needs a game changer that can only come from inside, not imposed from outside.
