ABSTRACTWhen and how can crises overcome the fragmentation of a core executive and facilitate a centralised management response? Using Greece’s three bailout programmes (2010-18) as case studies, the talk draws on several literatures to ascertain the nodality the Crisis Response Networks (CRNs) that successive Greek Prime Ministers utilised in order to deal with the country’s creditors and oversee the implementation of bailout conditionality at home. Based on an extensive range of elite interviews, including all four Prime Ministers who led Greece during the crisis, the talk traces the interplay between PM agency and key players within the Core Executive and the CRN during different stages of the crisis and assesses the extent to which the ‘bailout years’ challenged the underlying modus operandi at the heart of the Greek government. More broadly, the talk speaks to current debates on executive empowerment in the US and the dynamics of crisis management in Europe and the Middle East.

MODERATOR BIOGRAPHY<a href="http://www.sfu.ca/hellenic-studies/humans/people/d-krallis.html" title="http://www.sfu.ca/hellenic-studies/humans/people/d-krallis.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dimitris Krallis</a> was born in Athens where he lived during his childhood, teenage and college years. At the University of Athens he studied political theory and, inspired by his professors of history, decided to risk all by applying for a graduate degree in Byzantine Studies. This took him to the University of Oxford where he studied Byzantine social and political history. After an interruption of four years dedicated to military service and to teaching at the American College of Greece in Athens, he moved to the US and the University of Michigan for his doctorate. Upon graduation he joined the faculty at Simon Fraser University where he works at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Centre for Hellenic Studies.
