Dealing with Greece: The EEC and the Second Enlargement

The lecture will shed new light on the reasons that led Greece to apply for EEC membership, and most importantly on the rationale behind the Community’s acceptance of the Greek application. This Community-centred approach of the second enlargement will highlight on what grounds and with what methods the Community and its institutions as a whole responded to the challenges of the Greek candidature in the 1970s.
