Economic Change and the Process of Democratization in Southern Europe

Massimo Roccas and Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa

Chapter 2 in Economic Transformation, Democratization and Integration into the European Union, 2001, pp 30-74 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the process of economic change and democratization in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece. There are important points in common in the experience of these four countries: they began industrialization later than the countries of Northern Europe; they were subjected to fascist or right-wing authoritarian dictatorships; and their economic transformation and democratization interacted with a process of international opening and integration in the European Community (EC).1
