Abstract

American military bases and the political and social reactions they have solicited have had a major impact on the Greek political life. This article offers a synthetic analysis of the base negotiations in the period of democratization and rising anti-Americanism that integrates diplomatic with social history to tell for the first time how both Washington and Athens framed, understood and negotiated the status of the bases on the Greek soil and what was the role of the Turkish factor. Newly available evidence shed light on the motives of both players and unveils a dynamic and complex interchange between international and domestic pressures, the Turkish threat, the role of political parties, congress, and civil society.

摘要

美国的军事基地及其引起的政治和社会反应对希腊的政治生活产生了重大影响。本文对民主化和反美主义抬头时期的基地谈判进行综合分析，将外交与社会历史相结合，首次讲述华盛顿和雅典如何构架、理解和谈判希腊基地的地位土壤以及土耳其因素的作用是什么。新获得的证据揭示了这两个参与者的动机，并揭示了国际和国内压力、土耳其威胁、政党、国会和民间社会的作用之间动态而复杂的交流。
