Abstract

Greece has never been a leader in Europe’s power institutions — NATO and the European Union. German, French, and British leaders alike considered it too small, poor, and geographically remote to be a major player. But all that changed with Sunday’s landslide victory of the radical left-wing Syriza party in the most important Greek national election in four decades.
