With everyone's attention focused on the traditional main nations, Greece is slowly becoming the mini-power of the East Mediterranean.James Baileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11568480190769304090noreply@blogger.comBlogger51100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19109723.post-32189197341798797472007-05-19T11:55:00.000+09:302007-05-19T11:56:50.863+09:30

Greece - The New Generation SuperpowerMention the word “superpower” and automatically one will think of the USA, China and a small number of other countries, each with large defence forces, large populations and economic clout.Yet there is a new type of superpower emerging, where its population size or how large its armed forces are, are not the criteria. The new-style superpower [or New

In 1811AD, Lord Elgin removed parts of the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens, and moved them to the UK. The aim of this post is to gather as many "signatures" as possible so that the so-called Elgin Marbles be returned to their rightful home.To help in the campaign, I would appreciate it if you could do the following: 1. Post a comment supporting the return of the Parthenon Marbles back to

Mention the name "Greece" and most people envisage white washed buildings on beautiful islands, crystal clears seas and the Acropolis. Others think of Ouzo, feta cheese and men wearing those "wierd dresses" or foustaneles. Very few people would think of Greece as an economic power either in the world or within Europe.Yet Greeks today own the world's largest merchant fleet, surpassing even Japan,

I have created this blog for one main reason. To highlight to the world what is happening within Greece and its slowly expanding influence in the Balkans and Middle East.Today's media is too focused on the main superpowers and their interests, whether its Iraq, Israel or terrorism.
