Résumé : | This special issue focuses on the geographical impact of economic crisis in Greece. During the years 2008-2014 Greece has experienced the most severe economic crisis in its modern history with an unprecedented 26 % shrinkage of GDP, 16% reduction in declared income (2009-2012) and a rocketed in 27% of labor force unemployment rate. These trends have made Greece one of the countries most affected by the recent Great Recession. While aspects of the Greek economic crisis have been discussed within different contexts in economics literature, the regional dimension of the crisis is still a relatively less debated issue. However, the geographical dimension of economic crisis is of particular importance for economic analysis and policy and Greece is offering a repre-sentative example that may go beyond the peculiarities of the Greek case. The links between economic crisis and geography are ever stronger today for quite a few reasons. First, geography is an integral part of European integration. Economic crisis which is widening the asymmetry in the levels of economic development within Europe questions the functioning of the European economy as a whole. Second, economic crisis put a threat on the returns of the cohesion policy which has been an explicit policy goal for the European Union over a long period of time and for which there has been invested a great amount of structural assistance/funding from the E.U. budget. Finally, the social impacts of crisis and the degradation of urban environment questions the pace and limits of urbanization that has been under process in many countries across the globe in recent years. The idea for this special issue on the Greek economic crisis started in Sep-tember 2013, following the interesting debates that took place during the special session that was organized in Florence within the GDRI-DREEM (Développe-ment des Recherches Economiques Euro-Méditerranéenes) conference. The positive feedback from the conference along with the awareness that there has been a gap in the literature regarding the regional dimension of economic crisis made the preparation of a special issue on this theme a very tempting task. This selection of papers is a representative example of the research that is recently being carried out by Greek academics and prominent researchers in this field. The papers that are included in this special session look at the impacts of economic crisis at different geographical scales such as regions, cities, urban space. They cover a variety of issues on the geography of crisis impact such as employment and unemployment, regional development, poverty, housing mar-ket, construction, tourism and agriculture. These attempts are supported by re-cent key statistical data and sources that have been collected to fulfill the re-quirements of this issue. In sum, this issue is providing unique evidence on the relationship between economic crisis and geography that could go beyond the peculiarities of Greece. |
