Greece in 2011

United States views on international law (based on the document “Digest of U.S. Practice in International Law”): On July 17, 2011, the United States signed with Greece an MOU concerning the imposition of import restrictions on certain archaeological and ethnological material from the Upper Paleolithic Period through the 15th Century A.D. of the Hellenic Republic, having first made the requisite statutory determination under section 303 of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act.

The MOU entered into force with an exchange of diplomatic notes on November 21, 2011. Following entry into force, the Department of Homeland Security, CBP, and the Department of the Treasury published in the Federal Register a Designated List of restricted archaeological material representing the Upper Paleolithic Period (beginning approximately 20,000 B.C.) through the 15th century A.D., and ecclesiastical ethnological material representing Greece’s Byzantine culture (approximately the 4th century through the 15th century A.D.). 76 Fed. Reg. 74,691 (Dec. 1, 2011). A December 6, 2011 State Department media note explained that the MOU:

will strengthen and enhance collaboration to reduce looting and trafficking of antiquities, and provide for their return to Greece. It also aims to further the international interchange of such materials for cultural, educational, and scientific purposes. The agreement builds on the United States’ long-term commitment to cultural preservation and is consistent with a recommendation of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee, administered by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. (internet link) state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2011/12/178328.htm. Further information about the MOU, including a link to its text, is available at (internet link) exchanges.state.gov/heritage/culprop/listactions/greece.html.

Literature Review on Greece

In the Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy, [1] Dimitri A. Sotiropoulos offers the following summary about the topic of Greece: _he Greek public administration is an atypical Western bureaucracy because it combines elements of a modern organization with aspects of traditional and excessive politicization. It is permeated by political clientelism, primarily driven by political parties, but it also makes steps to converge with other European national administrations. Institutional reforms, namely the introduction of democratic and more citizen-friendly structures, have progressed over time, while new public management reforms have not been implemented. After a deep economic crisis erupted in 2009, Greece’s public administration had to quickly adapt to pressures to become more efficient. Along the way, it has shed administrative units and civil service personnel to contribute to the fiscal consolidation of the Greek economy.
