“…Traditionally, national threat perceptions are salient in threat perceptions literature (see Blank, 2008;Chourchoulis, 2012;Darwich, 2016;Farnham, 2003;Fordham, 1998;Gries et al, 2009;Jung, 2010;Kemmelmeier, & Winter, 2000;Minkina, 2011;Ridout, Grosse, & Appleton, 2008;Sinkkonen, & Elovainio, 2020;Tamaki, 2012;Vinayaraj, 2009;Zhu, 2002). Threat of nuclear war had been added to this during the Cold War (see Lebovic, 2009;Mayton II, 1986;Schatz, & Fiske, 1992).…”

“…In effect the doctrine meant that any attack on Greek borders by a country of the Eastern Bloc would be considered a casus belli for the NATO alliance (Wells Jr., 1981). Until 1955 when the Greek-Turkish rivalry reached its first peak, Bulgaria was considered the main external threat for Greek interests (Chourchoulis 2012). The geographical formation of the borders with Bulgaria and Yugoslavia offered no advantage to Greece as the latter lacked strategic depth to develop its defending forces or even plan a counterattack.…”

Greece as a state in South-eastern Europe and the Mediterranean has perceived itself as a frontline state, especially after it became a NATO member in 1952 along with Turkey. The two states formed the south-eastern flank of NATO and along with Iran constituted the Greece, Turkey, Iran (GTI) Corridor, part of Rimland. Greece’s strategic value stemmed from its frontline position in relation to the Eastern Bloc. After the dissolution of the Eastern Bloc, Greece has reinvented itself as a frontline state, this time in the Mediterranean Sea. We use the historical notion of longue durée and loci of Classical Geopolitics, such as Heartland and Rimland, to assess Greece’s strategic value in the long period. We also propose an additional spatial unity, the New Rimland.

“…To make matters worse, by the mid-1960s Greece and Turkey lacked the economic base to move on to the elaborate, technology-oriented military organization which NATO demanded. For all practical purposes, NATO military doctrine was only partially applicable in their case because of their economic weakness and strategic vulnerability (Iatrides 1968;Hatzivassiliou 2006;Chourchoulis 2012).…”
