This is a launch event of the new book (published in English by Springer) authored by Dr Dionyssis G. Dimitrakopoulos and Dr Passas Argyris. The book analyses the process of depoliticization of Greece’s public revenue administration promoted by its international lenders under the successive bailout agreements put in place since 2010. This is a key theme in public administration studies and beyond. This book helps readers understand the response to the eurozone crisis (especially, the conditionality of funding), Greece’s reform capacity with a focus on its tax administration, and the expansion of the scope of non-majoritarian institutions in Western democracies.
