    The January 2015 Parliamentary Election in Greece: Government Change, Partial Punishment and Hesitant Stabilisation
    in South European Society & Politics , Volume 21, Issue 4, Special Issue: Breaking the Mould: Crisis Elections, New Contenders and the Travails of Government Formation in Southern Europe ,  2016 ,  407-426
    In January 2015 an early parliamentary election was held in Greece, amidst harsh economic conditions and the saliency of the issue of Greece’s relations with the European Union. The election, won by the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA), marked a popular will for a total change of the governing paradigm and economic policies and, at the same time, confirmed that in countries that face economic crisis and have signed bail-out agreements entailing harsh austerity measures, government parties are sooner or later punished by the electorate, albeit in different degrees. In terms of systemic trends, the January 2015 election confirmed for the Greek party system an unstable process of acquiring a new shape.
