This extended last chapter concludes the story and explains how the Greek socialist government under Andreas Papandreou mitigated its rhetoric and moved from opposing Greece’s NATO and EEC membership to accepting the main elements of Athens’ Western orientation including its strategic relationship with Washington. This chapter is longer than the others and is designed to mirror—and be in dialogue with—the content of the previous Parts of the book. Thus, it first discusses PASOK’s ideological underpinnings, then examines Western reactions and strategies in view of the victory of the Socialists in the 1981 election, and then analyses Athens’ relations with NATO, the EEC, and the US. The last section of the chapter explores Papandreou’s ‘peripheral’ policies in the Cold War and Third World framework and their impact on Greece’s relationship with the West. PASOK’s acceptance of EEC and NATO membership along with the renewal of the strategic relationship with the United States in 1983, marked an important turning point in modern Greek history. The year 1983 signified the emergence of a historical consensus between the two largest parties of the Greek political system on the main principles of Greece’s foreign policy and its place in the world, thus eventually closing a long circle of dispute over Greece’s external orientation.
