In the forthcoming seminar organised by the Centre for Good Governance our two speakers will be reviewing the cases of Greece and Cyprus, focusing on how the core executive is organised and the head of the executive (President or Prime Minister) establishes control and coordination across the government. Through a comparative perspective the aim will be to offer recommendations that will enhance the governance structures and allow for a better, more productive and efficient management of government.

Professor Papadimitriou is the author of numerous publications on the matter, including the book ‘Prime Ministers in Greece: The Paradox of Power’ co-authored with Professor Kevin Featherstone (2015, Oxford University Press). Dr Adonis Pegasiou is part of the Research Project ‘Coordination at the Top: The Secretariats-General of the Executive in Europe’ by the European Group of Public Administration and has studied the case of Cyprus.
