How Greece is reshaping the Eastern Mediterranean

Professor Aristotle Tziampiris joins us on The Greek Current today to explore his latest piece in World Politics Review, in which he outlines how Greece is reshaping the Eastern Mediterranean.

Dr. Aristotle Tziampiris is president of the Council for International Relations-Greece, and a professor of international relations at the University of Piraeus.
