The seminar will present and analyze the origin and the unique strategy of SYRIZA that elevated it from a small party of the left, to the epicenter of the Greek political and party system, and then to power. Many have argued that SYRIZA’s radicalism has been transformed into a type of new party of realism which has alienated it from its original orientation and identity. This will be the second part of the seminar where the content and the reasons for this alleged realism will be examined.
