An important body of scholarly work has been produced over recent decades to explain variation in levels and patterns of state punishment across and within different countries around the world. Two variables that have curiously evaded systematic attention in this regard are, first, the orientation of incumbent governments along the political spectrum, and second, the experience and fiscal implications of national economic downturn. Although recent years have seen both variables receive somewhat greater consideration, there is still precious little research into the effects on state punishment that they have in interaction with one another. With a view to helping fill this gap in the literature, this article identifies the direction and assesses the extent of influence exerted by government political orientation, on the one hand, and by economic downturn alongside its fiscal repercussions, on the other hand, upon the evolution of incarceration in the context of contemporary Greece. In so doing, we offer a uniquely detailed account of carceral trends before and during the period that a coalition government led by the left-wing Syriza party was in power. With regard to carceral trends as such, the scope of our analysis extends beyond conventional imprisonment also to include immigration detention. As well as arguing that economic downturn can place crucial limits on a government’s ability to execute progressive plans in carceral matters, we additionally conclude that a government’s scope of action in this vein may be further restricted depending on the autonomy it can wield in defiance of foreign forces intervening in both economic and political realms.

还剩啥?由Syriza领导的政府领导下的希腊政治取向,经济状况和监禁

近几十年来,已经产生了重要的学术著作,用以解释世界各国之间以及国家内部的国家处罚水平和方式的差异。在这方面令人好奇地回避了系统关注的两个变量是:第一,现任政府在政治领域的定位,第二,国家经济下滑的经验和财政影响。尽管近年来已经看到这两个变量都得到了更大的考虑,但对于它们相互影响对国家惩罚的影响,仍然很少有研究。为了帮助填补文献中的空白,本文一方面确定了方向并评估了政府政治取向所施加的影响程度,另一方面,由于经济下滑以及财政影响,在当代希腊背景下监禁的演变。在此过程中,我们提供了由左翼的Syriza政党领导的联合政府执政之前和期间的cer病趋势的独特详细说明。关于这种趋势,我们的分析范围不仅限于常规监禁,还包括移民拘留。除了争论经济不景气会严重限制政府执行在患病方面的渐进式计划的能力外,我们还得出结论,政府在此方面的行动范围可能会受到进一步限制,这取决于政府可以行使的无视外国的自主权势力介入经济和政治领域。
