Από το Ιδανικό της Χειραφέτησης στην Αγωνία της Χειραγώγησης
A study of how political communication in Greece has changed since the restoration of democracy, and how media and politics shape one another. A measured, academic tour of power and media in Greece, driven by curiosity rather than drama.
Feels like curiosity and hope. About society, power and freedom.
Who it’s for
You may like it if you follow Greek politics or study how media and political power shape each other. The writing is academic and theoretical, with long institutional and research framing, so it asks for patience rather than offering a quick narrative.
Why read it
It gives you a framework for reading Greek political communication as a contest over freedom and influence, not just campaign coverage.

When does years of research become a proposal for seeing politics differently?
Ωστόσο, η βαθύτερη ώθηση προέκυψε από μια μακρά προσωπική ερευνητική διαδρομή, που ξεκίνησε με τη διδακτορική διατριβή μου στο Πανεπιστήμιο Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne και συνεχίστηκε αδιάκοπα μέσα από διδασκαλία, αρθρογραφία και εμπειρική έρευνα όλα τα επόμενα χρόνια. Με την έννοια αυτή, το παρόν έργο αντανακλά μια εργασία ετών· φιλοδοξεί να είναι όχι απλώς μια καταγραφή, αλλά μια θεωρητική και ερευνητική πρόταση για την κατανόηση της πολιτικής επικοινωνίας στο διεθνές περιβάλλον και ειδικότερα στην Ελλάδα της Γ΄ Ελληνικής Δημοκρατίας. Φανή Κουντούρη.The author’s research draws together political science, communication studies and political sociology.

How does a nation’s destiny hinge entirely upon the ego of its citizens?
I’ve learned from these events that self-esteem plays as much a part in the destiny of nations as it does in the lives of individuals; that self-hatred leads to the need either to dominate or to be dominated; that citizens who refuse to obey anything but their own conscience can transform their countries; in short, that self-esteem is the basis of any real democracy.
Revolution from Within · Gloria Steinem
When the market stops following the rules, who is truly responsible for the collapse?
I was furious the situation had reached this point. A relatively small group of people—many on Wall Street, some not—had gambled that the housing market would keep booming forever. It didn’t. In a normal environment, the free market would render its judgment and they could fail.
Decision Points · George W. Bush
The case for leaving your door open and your calendar empty.
Most people are surprised by the way I work. I play it very loose. I don’t carry a briefcase. I try not to schedule too many meetings. I leave my door open. You can’t be imaginative or entrepreneurial if you’ve got too much structure. I prefer to come to work each day and just see what develops.
