George Giannakopoulos

When does protection become coercion? My new (open access) article in The International History Review revisits the 1850 British blockade of Greece as an experiment in intervention short of war. Written as Venezuela was unfolding. 🔗 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I had a wonderful evening celebrating The Interpreters at City St George’s, University of London. Thanks to Jeannie Morefield, Christopher Brooke & Dina Gusejnova for the thoughtful discussion, and to Lise Butler for chairing!

Really looking forward to chairing the launch of Georgios Giannakopoulos' new book ‘The Interpreters’ tomorrow, alongside a fantastic panel of Jeanne Morefield, Christopher Brooke and Dina Gusejnova citystgeorges.ac.uk/news-and-event…
