DESCRIPTION:*Monday 8 June 2015  5:15* for 5:30pm\n\n*The Pavillion  Room\
 , Hughes Hall\, Cambridge\, CB1 2EW*\n\n* Since 2010\, Hughes Hall has hos
 ted a series of annual public lectures\, reviewing the evolution of the Eu
 rozone sovereign debt crisis.\n* Demetrius Floudas\, once again revisits t
 he topic\, which has been at the top of the agenda of political and econom
 ic analysts in previous months\n\nIn January 2015\, Greece faced its most 
 important general election of the last decades. Elections in this small co
 untry acquired an unexpected world-wide significance that is very rare in 
 comparable situations.  The results which brought the radical left Syriza 
 party to power\, represented the first electoral victory for such a politi
 cal entity in post-war Europe.\n\nThis lecture intends to present an under
 standable overview of the current state of the Greek  crisis\, for everyon
 e who may have felt overwhelmed by the masses of information disseminated 
 so far. At the same time\, it will follow with a new paradigm of analysis 
 of a number of issues\, based on analytical prediction models as well as t
 he speaker's own experience from his observations of the political undercu
 rrents in Greece.\n\n* How likely is it that Greece will default? What wil
 l really happen if it does?\n* How will a Greek collapse affect the UK\, E
 urope and the rest of the world?\n* Why did Greek voters reject the Europe
 an bail-out in January 2015?\n* Is instability/riots/civil war a possible 
 danger for the country?\n* What are the scenarios for the 'day after'?\n\n
 _Demetrius Andreas Floudas has been a Special Adviser to the 'Forum for Gr
 eece' political think tank.  In addition\, he has provided commentary on t
 he unfolding crisis in the country to Greek and international media (BBC\,
  VoA\, Russia Today) on numerous occasions . Demetrius Floudas is a Senior
  Member of Hughes Hall\, Cambridge and a Fellow of the Hellenic Institute 
 of International and Foreign Law._\n\n\n*The lecture will be followed by a
  wine reception*\n\n%{color:red}*All are warmly invited to attend but prio
