虽然在更广泛的社会经济条件下进行了广泛的辩论，但欧元区危机尚未得到足够的学术关注替代政治制度的影响。本文回顾了关于多数民主和共识民主的辩论，并借鉴了最近欧元区崩溃的证据。希腊在其潜在的“全球溢出效应”和选择多数政治制度方面特别有趣。尽管面临着与葡萄牙和西班牙类似的挑战，但该国在社会和政治上已经两极分化，出现了创纪录的议员叛逃，选举波动和激进极右翼的崛起。文章指出，多数主义机构的作用，以解释为什么希腊进入全球金融危机在最脆弱的位置，而随后面临着不可逾越的政治和制度障碍，在其管理。
Although widely debated in broader socioeconomic terms, the Eurozone crisis has not received yet adequate scholarly attention with regard to the impact of alternative political systems. This article revisits the debate on majoritarian and consensus democracies drawing on recent evidence from the Eurozone debacle. Greece is particularly interesting both with regard to its potential "global spillover effects" and choice of a majoritarian political system. Despite facing comparable challenges as Portugal and Spain, the country has become polarized socially and politically, seeing a record number of MP defections, electoral volatility and the rise of the militant extreme right. The article points to the role of majoritarian institutions to explain why Greece entered the global financial crisis in the most vulnerable position while subsequently faced insurmountable political and institutional obstacles in its management.
