Abstract:Political radicalization is an increasingly popular yet underspecified concept. Four memoirs that portray the trajectories of individuals who engaged in clandestine action, either violent or nonviolent—in Greece from the late 1960s onwards, allow an examination of the process of radicalization. Comparison of these memoirs sheds light not only on the process of political radicalization but also on the recent history of political violence in Greece. It also serves to reveal the utility of critically relying on autobiographical material, to highlight the importance of disaggregating the process of radicalization and distinguishing it from both clandestine engagement and violent action, and to show how different components of the Greek Left, mainstream and nonviolent on the one hand, clandestine and violent on the other, have been linked to each other.

Abstract:During the 2010s, far-right violence in Greece reached unprecedented dimensions. Existing research has mainly focused on country-specific factors and the organizational capacities of extreme-right actors, Golden Dawn in particular. A comparison of far-right violence in Greece with far-right violence in other countries in Western Europe between 2016 and 2020, using the unique Right-Wing Terrorism and Violence (RTV) dataset, reveals (1) that Greece has experienced much more far-right violence than any other country during this period; (2) that violence is carried out by so-called lone actors much less frequently in Greece than in other countries; and (3) that serious acts of violence in Greece are directed mostly against migrants and refugees, or against political opponents. High levels of violence in Greece are probably attributable to a unique combination of favorable structural conditions (i.e., high unemployment and an influx of refugees) and favorable opportunity structures (particularly discursive components, including negative attitudes towards migrants and high levels of affective polarization).

Abstract:This article approaches empirically political violence by presenting a new database (PVGR) on political violence in Greece from 2008 to 2019. We contribute to the literature, firstly, by examining both right-wing and left-wing extremism and, secondly, by registering the whole spectrum of low-intensity violent escalation from verbal and physical attacks to terrorism. We gather data on internal-supply aspects of political violence and provide measures of frequency, intensity, escalation, and geographical distribution. We typologize evidence in analytical categories, thus contributing to the classification of the phenomenon beyond ideological doctrines. We test core theories on the causes of violence, and find empirical evidence that far left violence is largely unresponsive to macro-level indicators of socioeconomic grievances and political opportunities, whereas far right violence is primarily associated with rising inequalities, sudden changes in immigration, parliamentary representation of extremism and participation of radical parties in government.
