dc.description.abstractIn the extant literatures in Greece and Turkey, scholars argue that the Colonels' junta of 1967 anti, the 1950 Turkish transition to democracy were brought about by foreign influence. This is, however a paradox since the same Cold War international context is seen was the cause of contrary regimes in two neighboring countries that belonged to the same alliance. A comparative study of Greece and Turkey shows that external factors played a more. indirect role than what many scholars maintain and altered the cost-benefit analyses of the political. leaders. In Greece, American. aid to the military decreased the costs Of intervention. The Cold War context intensified fears that there was a leftist threat in Greece and augmented the perceived, benefits and legitimacy of authoritarianism. Conversely, in Turkey the difficulties encountered during the Second World War increased the costs of sustaining authoritarianism. The Turkish desire to be included in the Western camp during the Cold War legitimized domestic demands for democracy and increased the benefits associated with regime change.en_US
