Studies on Modern Greek Society and Politics Eastern European Monographs Studies on Modern Greek Society and Politics (East European Monographs) offers an in-depth exploration of the political, social, and cultural transformations in modern Greece, focusing on key developments from the 19th century to the present. This collection of scholarly essays examines the complexities of Greek society and its political evolution, particularly in the context of Greece?s transition from an Ottoman-ruled territory to a modern European nation-state. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the impact of nationalism, the struggle for independence, the role of the military in politics, and the challenges of democratization. It also explores the relationship between Greece and its neighbors, as well as its position within broader European and international contexts, particularly during the turbulent 20th century, which saw periods of war, civil conflict, and political instability. Contributors provide detailed analyses of key historical moments, such as the Greek War of Independence (1821-1829), the civil war of the late 1940s, and the military dictatorship of the 1960s and 1970s, along with the post-junta period of democratization and Greece's integration into the European Union. Through these studies, Studies on Modern Greek Society and Politics offers valuable insights into the development of modern Greek identity, the evolution of its political institutions, and the social forces that have shaped the nation. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students interested in Greek history, political science, and the dynamics of modern state-building and democratization in Southern Europe.
