The seemingly unstoppable rise of tourism is transforming countries in ways that until recently belonged to the realm of the imagination. Greece is no exception, as it's among the places most affected by this trend. Professor Stathis Kalyvas, the chairman of the Board of Directors at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center and Gladstone Professor of Government at the University of Oxford's Department of Politics and International Relations, joins Thanos Davelis to look at how the rise of tourism is changing Greece, and what challenges this poses for the country in the coming years.Read Prof. Stathis Kalyvas' latest in Kathimerini: What does the tourist boom mean for Greece?You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Athens blocking EU-Tirana defense pactFM Gerapetritis: Situation in Gaza requires immediate action

Greece is the place to be this summer, and the number of tourists arriving to the country is expected to surpass the pre-pandemic records set in 2019, contributing to a celebratory mood across the country. All it takes is a visit to the Greek islands or a stroll through Athens to realize that a huge change is currently afoot as a result of this surge in tourism. Professor Stathis Kalyvas, the Gladstone Professor of Government in the University of Oxford's Department of Politics and International Relations and author of the recent piece in Kathimerini “A Summerless Greece?”, joins me to discuss how this incredible surge in visitors is dramatically changing the landscape of Greece, and looks at whether this is putting the “Greek summer” - an essential part of the country's collective identity - out of reach for many Greeks.Read Prof. Stathis Kalyvas' latest piece in Kathimerini: A summerless Greece?You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here: Greece gets first 2 upgraded F-16s out of a total 83Hellenic Air Force receives its first Viper F-16 fightersErdogan slams Greece, warns US about F-16sGreek leader says armed conflict with Turkey won't happen

On February 24th, Russia invaded the country of Ukraine, in an unexpected escalation of a conflict that began in 2014. It is the largest conventional military attack in Europe since World War II.According to an influential analysis of Russia's aggression towards Ukraine, this is all down to NATO's overreach in the region, and Russia is simply defending itself from being encircled by Western power. But, pay closer attention to what Putin is actually saying, and a very different explanation emerges. Putin believes it's his destiny to restore Russia to its former glory. So how should we interpret the actions of states like Russia? Are they merely driver by power and security concerns, like the realist school of thought claims? Or are the beliefs and worldviews of political leaders, like Putin, as well as the national identities of people like those of Ukraine, the real driving force of events? Is necessity and structural issues the motor of history, or is it contingency and uncertainty at the steering wheel? Stathis Kalyvas  is the Gladstone Professor of Government at the University of Oxford, and a fellow of All Souls College. He is a political scientist who's written extensively on civil wars, ethnicity, and political violence. and is the author of, among other books,  The Logic of Violence in Civil War. Our conversation was based on an article Kalyvas wrote for the Institute of Art and Ideas, entitled “How we got Putin so wrong”. Pease leave us a rating and a review on Apple Podcasts.This podcast is created in partnership with The Philosopher, the UK's longest running public philosophy journal.

“Fair Greece! Sad relic of departed worth! Immortal, though no more! Though fallen, great!” Lord Byron published these lines in 1818 not knowing what a major figure in Greece's History he was destined to become. Three years before dying in its shores in 1824, the Greeks rose up against the Ottoman Empire to seize their national independence. The plight of the country of Plato and Pericles moved thousands of Europeans, including Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and other luminaries. Well-read in the classics, this romantic generation saw the events of 1821 as a historic opportunity to repay Europe’s cultural and intellectual debt to Hellenic civilization. French poet Victor Hugo would even have Homer and "mother" rhyme in his poems. In the Uncommonly Decent quest to trace the cultural and civilizational roots of the European order, History is seldom brought up. This year's bicentennial of Greece's national liberation commemorates one such rare European moment, providing us thereby with a chance to reconnect with our project's guiding mission. Stathis Kalyvas (All Souls College, Oxford), Thanos Veremis (Athens University) and John Psaropoulos (independent journalist) join the episode this week.

Zurzeit beobachten wir erneut schlimme Attacken auf die syrische Stadt Idlib, die letzte Hochburg der Rebellen. Zu den Zielen gehören offensichtlich auch die Zivilbevölkerung und zivile Objekte wie Krankenhäuser und Märkte. Welche Logik steckt dahinter? Das wollen wir mithilfe des Konzepts der indiskriminierenden Gewalt von Stathis Kalyvas ergründen.

Emile Hokayem, IISS Senior Fellow for Middle East Security, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic.Emile and Kori give a masterclass in understanding the Middle East and political violence. Emile explains the misconceptions surrounding the state of Iraq before the 2003 invasion, what non-proliferation experts miss about Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons, and the problematic notion that Iran and Saudi Arabia can and should share the Middle East, thus making it possible for the US to adopt an ‘offshore balancing' posture, and much more.Emile responds to the US recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and reflects on his recent analysis of the continuation of the Arab Spring, stating that ‘the ebb and flow of street protests will be the new normal.'Emile is perfectly placed to explore the question of conflict in the Middle East, having grown up in Lebanon during some of the most intense years of the civil war, studied in the US during the invasion of Iraq, and used his expertise to conduct field research across the region. With a brief that is constantly in the news, his work and comments are referenced regularly in leading outlets.Favourite data visualisationThe impacts of climate change at 1.5C, 2C and beyond | Carbon Briefhttps://interactive.carbonbrief.org/impacts-climate-change-one-point-five-degrees-two-degrees/Map of Syria: situation as of January 2019, featured in ‘The US withdrawal from Syria' (IISS Strategic Comment, vol. 25, no. 1, January 2019: https://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/2019/the-us-withdrawal-from-syria)Reading recommendations:Stathis Kalyvas, The Logic of Violence in Civil Wars (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2006) Further writings on Syria and the regional context by Emile:How Syria defeated the Sunni powers (New York Times, 30 December 2016)‘Assad or we burn the country': misreading sectarianism and the regime in Syria (War on the Rocks, 24 August 2016)Obama's disastrous betrayal of the Syrian rebels (Foreign Policy, 4 February 2016)Iran, the Gulf States and the Syrian Civil War (Survival, vol. 56, no. 6, November 2014) Date of recording: 25 March 2019Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Prof. Stathis Kalyvas (Oxford) gives an overview of past research on violence in civil war as part of 'Writing the History of Civil War', a UCD Centre for War Studies seminar.

This UCD Centre for War Studies seminar gathered some of the leading scholars of civil wars to discuss their unique approaches to the subject.

In Episode 4, I mentioned I used the book Bloodlands by Timothy (not Zack) Snyder when teaching WWII in my world history survey. Our guest Andrew Behrendt was underwhelmed with that choice. Today, Andrew and I enter the Thunderdome and strap into our bungee harnesses as we debate whether this book is useful for world historians. Needless to say, there is some bad blood as he grabs a chainsaw (claiming Snyder poorly defines his geographical space!), I swing a hammer (suggesting that Snyder’s top-down approach may be a necessary corrective to the historiographical turn towards local understandings of violence!), and Matt frantically tries to blow his bosun’s whistle (Snyder’s synthesis does not contain an explicit argument!). Yeah, this one gets nerdy, so nerdy Stathis Kalyvas gets name checked. There are even two Simpson’s references in here! Recommendations are:Andrew – Prusin, The Lands Between; Collingham, The Taste of WarDave – Gross, Neighbors; Gross, Fear Matt – Von Ryan’s Express (1965); Lazare, “Timothy Snyder’s Lies”
