Stathis Kalyvas

The seemingly unstoppable rise of tourism is transforming countries in ways that until recently belonged to the realm of the imagination. Greece is no exception, as it's among the places most affected by this trend.

The new chairman of the Board of Directors at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) is Stathis Kalyvas, Gladstone Professor of Government at the University of Oxford's Department of Politics and International Relations, as was announced on Monday. 

Additionally, the SNFCC general assembly renewed Ellis Andriopoulou's term of office as its Managing Director.

Panteion University professor and New Democracy MP Dimitris Keridis will present an online public debate at 9 p.m. on Monday titled "After the Crisis: Public Health, Economy, Politics - Speaking to the Experts," featuring professors Stathis Kalyvas, Elias Mossialos and Panagiotis Tsakloglou.

Eminent historians Mark Mazower and Stathis Kalyvas are to join a committee that will oversee preparations to mark the bicentenary of the 19th-century revolt against Ottoman Turkey that led to the creation of the modern Greek state, it emerged on Wednesday.
