This paper explores the process of public sector reform in Greece through the lens of privatisation. It is suggested that the transformation of the domestic post-war interventionist state into the current market-oriented paradigm has been disrupted and dependent on changing reform rationales. Along with the effect of historical dynamics on the direction and scale of change, the explanatory power of external determinants of reform is stressed. Findings reflect a direct linkage between the intensity of external pressure and the pace of reforms. The sustainability of gradual privatisation reforms seems more certain than the outcomes of fast-track privatisations under policy conditionality.

公共部门改革：希腊私有化实验的经验教训


本文通过私有化的视角探讨了希腊公共部门改革的进程。有人认为，国内战后干预主义国家向当前市场导向范式的转变已被打乱，并依赖于不断变化的改革理由。除了历史动态对变化方向和规模的影响之外，改革的外部决定因素的解释力也受到重视。调查结果反映了外部压力的强度与改革步伐之间的直接联系。渐进式私有化改革的可持续性似乎比在政策条件下快速私有化的结果更加确定。
