Abstract
When looking at the evolution of Greece over the past two decades, many changes may be considered as a “setback” for the integrity of the country. Interpreting this movement and assessing the resilience dynamics at work in Greece is thus a difficult task because resilience and sustainability are not usually meant to create systemic crises. So, what comes next? Is the worst over? Shall Greek people finally achieve a wonderful common future after the “black” crisis years? The inputs clearly changed, and the challenges to come should be hard to meet, especially in the areas of geopolitics, policies, development, security, demographics, energy, and the environment.
