For a comprehensive analysis of the legal apparatus of the Greek dictatorship, see Alivizatos (1983). Bermeo (1995) offers an insightful classification of the Greek case compared to the Latin American dictatorships. A general overview of the most crucial socio-political aspects of the Colonels’ regime is provided by Athanasatou (1999).

For a specific study of the social conflicts that emerged in the 1960s in Greece, see Sain Martain (1984). Dafermos (1999) is the most thorough analysis to date of the anti-dictatorship student movement of 1972–1973 in Greece. For a thorough analysis of Greece’s main exponents of popular culture in the 1960s and 1970s, see Papanikolaou (2007) and Van Dyck (1998). For the societal dynamics and the role of new elites involved in the transitional processes of the country to democracy, see Diamandouros (1983) and O’Donnel (1986).
