French Political Thought in Southeastern Europe. Patterns and Limits of Reception
French political thought in its liberal and republican expressions from the Enlightenment to the twentieth century formed the broader framework within which the aspirations of cultural and political change, modernization and individual and national liberty in the societies of Southeastern Europe were articulated. Exemplary exponents of liberal and radical political reflection who wrote under the impact of the ideas of the French Revolution includ…
Concluding reflections
The Greek Revolution in the Age of Revolutions (1776–1848)
The Greek Revolution
The Greek war for independence (1821–1830) goes missing from the narrative of the Age of Revolutions, yet the overthrow of Ottoman rule was of profound political significance. The Greek Revolution offers short essays detailing the activities, personalities, intellectual underpinnings, and global resonances of a pivotal episode in modern history.

Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism in Europe
This encyclopedia documents the presence and impact of nationalized cultural consciousness in European nationalism. It tracks how intellectuals, historians, philologists, novelists, poets, painters, folklorists, and composers, in an intensely collaborative transnational network, articulated the national identities and aspirations that would go on to determine European history and politics, with effects that are still felt today. Edited by Joep Le…
Religion and Politics in the Orthodox World
This book explores how the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the leading centre of spiritual authority in the Orthodox Church, based in Istanbul, coped with political developments from Ottoman times until the present. The book outlines how under the Ottomans, despite difficult circumstances, the Patriarchate managed to draw on its huge symbolic and moral power and organization to uphold the unity and catholicity of the Orthodox Church, how it struggled to…
The modernity of nations. A tribute to Walker Connor
To fully appreciate Walker Connor's contribution to the foundation of the contemporary study of nationalism, two main factors must be taken into account. First, the context of positivist behavioural political science within which in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, he articulated his critique of the concept of nation‐building. In this context, Connor emerged as a critic of the limitations and the naivité of positivist modernization theory…
Cyprus and the Renaissance (1450–1650)

Enlightenment and Revolution
Greece sits at the center of a geopolitical storm that threatens the stability of the European Union. To comprehend how this small country precipitated such an outsized crisis, it is necessary to understand how Greece developed into a nation in the first place. Enlightenment and Revolution identifies the ideological traditions that shaped a religious community of Greek-speaking people into a modern nation-state--albeit one in which antiliberal fo…

Relevance or Irrelevance of Nationalism? A Perspective from the Eastern Mediterranean
The Enlightenment and the Greek cultural tradition
In this paper I attempt to situate the expression of the secular culture of the Enlightenment in the Greek context into the broader intellectual and spiritual tradition defined by the Greek language. The analysis points at the breaks introduced into this tradition by the Enlightenment (in historical and geographical conceptions, in scientific and political thought and in the understanding of the classics) but it also argues that despite its novel…

Venizelos’ Intellectual Projects and Cultural Interests
Eleftherios Venizelos
GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup('ISBN:9780748624782);Eleftherios Venizelos, Prime Minister of Greece, 1910-1920 and 1928-1932, could be considered from many points of view the creator of contemporary Greece and one of the main actors in European diplomacy in the period 1910-1935. Yet the last book-length study discussing the man, his politics and his broader role in twentieth-century history has appeared in English more than fifty years ago. The asp…
L'étude philosophique des Lumières grecques
From Republican Patriotism to National Sentiment
This article attempts to add a corrective to the exclusive focus of the academic historiography of republicanism on the mainstream of the tradition in Italy and north-western Europe by bringing a perspective from the European south-east on the transmission and evolution of republican ideas. An illustration of this broader perspective on the history of republicanism is provided by the treatise Hellenic Nomarchy anonymously published in Italy in 18…

Orthodox Culture and Collective Identity in the Ottoman Balkans During the Eighteenth Century
Thinking in the late 1990s about collective identity and ethnic loyal ties i Balkans leads to grim reflections ndeed. In the closing decade of the 20th century we have just witnessed in this region of south eastern Europe acts of violence and atrocities motivated by nationalism, which most of us wished to hope had been eradicated from the European continent. The resulting disillusionment is reflected in the new urgency with which the history of n…

Balkan Mentality
In this article I attempt to do two things. First I consider in what sense it could be reasonable to talk of a ‘Balkan mentality’, shared across national divisions by all peoples in Southeastern Europe. I argue among other things that nationalism and its impact on culture and scholarship has been a major stumbling block for the conceptualisation of a shared ‘Balkan mentality’. Secondly, I go on to examine one possible context in which a shared me…

The making of a lawyer
In the history of European humanism law and legal scholarship have been distinctly connected with processes of ideological change. Conceptions of law, the uses of legal texts and the professional practices of lawyers have repeatedly provided the matrix within which the understanding of the collective destinies of societies has been shaped. It is therefore rather paradoxical that research on Venetian Crete, the foremost hearth of post-Byzantine ci…
