Greece’s population decline and its need for growth 13:44

cách đây 1 day trước13:44

13:44

For many, the economic crisis that gripped Greece in the previous decade is over. However, its legacy is still there, and it goes well beyond the country’s economy. One such legacy is Greece’s birthrate, which was already declining, but the crisis accelerated its fall. As Greece faces a declining population, it also needs to ensure economic growth, and the question many are asking, including our guest today, is whether Greece can thrive with a shrinking population. John Psaropoulos joins Thanos Davelis as we look into Greece’s demographic challenge, one that Prime Minister Mitsotakis has called “existential”. John Psaropoulos is an independent journalist and Al Jazeera's correspondent in southeast Europe. He publishes Hellenica, a weekly deep dive into Greek current affairs and history. You can find it on Substack.com. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here: Can Greece thrive with a shrinking population?

Realigning US policy to reflect Turkey's drift away from the West 10:31

cách đây 2 ngày trước10:31

10:31

Late last week a bipartisan group of lawmakers in the House of Representatives introduced a piece of legislation that would redesignate Turkey as a Near Eastern country at the State Department, rather than a European country. The legislation followed a hearing in the House on Turkey, where serious concerns about Turkey’s role as a US and NATO ally were expressed. Endy Zemenides, HALC’s Executive Director, joins Thanos Davelis to break down why this legislation on Turkey matters, especially given Ankara’s record that shows it is increasingly at odds with Western security interests.

Europe's security, Greece, and the challenge of Turkish revisionism 12:21

cách đây 5 ngày trước12:21

12:21

Turkey’s Erdogan has once again played up his country’s importance on the world stage - especially when it comes to defense issues - telling Europeans that their security is “unthinkable without Turkey.” These comments come despite Ankara’s well documented and aggressive moves in the region, from the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean to the Caucasus. Michael Rubin, the director of policy analysis at the Middle East Forum and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss what Europe and countries in the region like Greece can do to address the challenge Turkey poses today.

A US vote of confidence in Lebanon? 17:54

cách đây 6 ngày trước17:54

17:54

Despite the Trump administration’s 90-day freeze on foreign aid, the State Department announced it was unfreezing $95 million in military assistance to Lebanon. The move is seen as a vote of confidence from the US in the new political order emerging in Lebanon, and in its efforts to continue to degrade Hezbollah. Steven Howard, the Director of Policy and Outreach at the American Task Force on Lebanon (ATFL), and Sean Mathews, a journalist for the Middle East Eye covering the Middle East, North Africa and the Balkans, join Thanos Davelis to break down why these funds matter for Lebanon, which is looking to rebuild after years of crises, and for the region.

Alexandroupoli: An essential regional hub for Greece, the US, and NATO 10:21

cách đây 7 ngày trước10:21

10:21

Last week, a fake news report claiming the US was going to ditch Alexandroupoli put the northern Greek port city in the spotlight. This report even reached the Oval Office, where President Trump quickly shut down the story. In the wake of the story, Kathimerini recently took a deep dive into the numbers, looking at how Alexandroupoli has become an essential hub for both commercial and military operations. Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini’s diplomatic and defense editor, joins Thanos Davelis to explore the important role Alexandroupoli is playing in the region.

Germany's recent election and why it matters for Europe 15:33

cách đây 8 ngày trước15:33

15:33

Germany’s recent election paved the way for the leader of the opposition conservative Christian Democrats, Friedrich Merz, to take over as chancellor once coalition talks wrap up. The election is also raising broader questions about German and European politics, with the far-right AfD making big gains, while the question remains whether Merz is up to the challenge given the new geopolitical landscape taking shape. Tom Nuttall, The Economist’s chief Germany correspondent and head of the Berlin bureau, joins Thanos Davelis to look into Germany’s recent election, and break down why it matters for Europe.

PKK leader Ocalan's call for peace between Turkey and the Kurds 10:44

cách đây 9 ngày trước10:44

10:44

Last week Abdullah Ocalan, the imprisoned leader of the PKK, called on the movement to lay down its arms and dissolve. Ocalan’s historic announcement has many hoping that it will bring an end to nearly 4 decades of conflict between Ankara and the country’s Kurds. On Friday, Thanos Davelis spoke to Giran Ozcan, the Executive Director of the Kurdish Peace Institute and a former representative of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) in the US, to break down this historic call from Ocalan, and look at what we should keep an eye on as this process unfolds. Since our discussion, the PKK has declared a ceasefire with Turkey. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here: End of an era?

Trump threatens to hit the EU with 25% tariffs 11:26

cách đây 12 ngày trước11:26

11:26

On Wednesday President Trump said the EU was formed to “screw the United States,” then announced he would hit the EU with 25% tariffs. This has prompted a reaction from European officials and capitals, who point out that the EU has had the opposite effect, fostering closer business ties and trade links with the US. Maria Demertzis, the chief economist for Europe at the Conference Board in Brussels, joins Thanos Davelis to look into the European reaction to these statements, and break down what this could mean for the economies of the US and EU, including Greece.

Europe in Trump's new world 9:17

cách đây 13 ngày trước9:17

9:17

President Donald Trump’s return to office has been described as an “electroshock” in Europe, with leading politicians like Germany’s Friedrich Merz openly pledging “independence from the US.” Aside from his antagonistic approach toward Europe - from security to tariffs - Trump is also sending a clear signal that he wants to leave European affairs to Europeans while the US pivots toward China. Andrew Novo, a professor of strategic studies at the National Defense University in Washington, DC, joins Thanos Davelis to break down what’s at stake for Europe as the US turns its attention elsewhere, and how countries like Greece and Cyprus can react to this new reality.

Demonstrations, global uncertainty, and the test for Greece's political system 11:25

cách đây 14 ngày trước11:25

11:25

Greece is bracing for demonstrations that will bring the country to a halt this Friday, as it marks the two-year anniversary of the Tempe rail crash - the country’s worst ever rail disaster in which 57 people died. The public outcry is testing the political system, from the government to the opposition, with Prime Minister Mitsotakis acknowledging public demands for truth and justice while condemning efforts to politicize the tragedy. Wolfango Piccoli, the co-founder of risk analysis company Teneo, joins Thanos Davelis to look into the broader ramifications of Tempe for Greece’s political system, while exploring how the current uncertainty in Europe and the US factor into the challenges facing Greece.

Trump, Russia, and the possibility of a Ukraine deal 12:34

Monday, February 24, marked three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. As President Trump looks to bring a swift end to the war, his and his officials’ statements on Ukraine, President Zelensky, and European security, along with the decision to bypass allies and engage in talks with Russia’s Putin, have left many in the West with a deep sense of unease. Thomas Graham, a distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and author of the book Getting Russia Right , joins Thanos Davelis to look into what’s at stake three years into this war, and what to make of President Trump’s moves on Ukraine.

Is Turkey finding itself marginalized in the Trump 2.0 era? 11:39

cách đây 16 ngày trước11:39

11:39

While Turkey may have expected that a second Trump term would mean improved ties with the White House, the first month of the Trump administration has shown us that Washington still views Turkey as an unreliable partner. In fact, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s recent engagements with the Middle East point to a regional strategy that seems to marginalize Ankara. Sinan Ciddi, a non-resident senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and an expert on Turkish politics, joins Thanos Davelis to look into whether Erdogan’s Turkey is finding itself on the outside of the Trump administration’s regional strategy.

Cyprus and Egypt sign "pivotal" energy agreements 13:30

Earlier this week Cypriot President Christodoulides was in Egypt where the two countries signed two energy agreements that he described as “pivotal”. The deals would enable the export of gas from Cyprus’s offshore fields to Egypt for liquefaction and re-export to Europe, and, as President Christodoulides posted on X, “are game changers for the region and beyond”. Dr. Theodoros Tsakiris, a professor of geopolitics and energy policy at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus, joins Thanos Davelis to break down why these two deals are important for Cyprus, Egypt, and the region.

Earlier this week we saw Turkish police detain 282 people accused of ties to the PKK. This included journalists, politicians, and academics. These arrests are taking place as Ankara continues to remove elected pro-Kurdish mayors from their posts. At the same time, they coincide with reports that a deal could be at hand over the country’s Kurdish question. Piotr Zalewski, The Economist's Turkey correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis as we look into this new crackdown in Turkey and its broader implications.

It’s safe to say that Steve Bannon, a one-time close adviser to Donald Trump and the voice of the MAGA movement, has a unique role in both the Republican camp and in driving the conversation in Washington, DC in the Trump 2.0 era. Kathimerini’s Iliana Magra, who met with Steve Bannon last week in Washington, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss her in-depth interview with Bannon, which touched on his views on Greece, Turkey and the region, and the broader outlook for the Trump 2.0 era and the MAGA movement.
