Christians Against Christians
Much has been said recently about the persecution and/or violence against Christians by non-Christian states and societies. But little, if any, discussion has taken place about the persecution of C

Towards a New Universalism; Reconstruction and Dialogue
The main focus of this paper is to propose a research agenda for human rights scholars which may lead to a genuine universal notion of human rights. A brief survey of three dichotomies that characterise the human rights field is followed by a probing of the presuppositions, in particular communalism, embedded in the Western notion of individual civil and political rights and the sphere of personal autonomy in communal cultures. Such an investigat…
Cultural Relativism Revisited

The social construction of ethnicity and nationality
This study analyzes the processes by which two ethnonationalisms ‐ Greek and Turkish ‐ were constructed in Cyprus. As such it is of vital relevance to the current rise of ethnicity and nationalism in Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia. The transformation is traced from a pre‐nationalist era during the Ottaman Empire in which social integration characterized the Muslims and Christians to the present situation of ethnic strife and division of the island. T…
Eastern Orthodoxy and Human Rights
The brutality of the holocaust in Europe during World War II precipitated international concern with human rights. Today all countries at least rhetorically attest to their adherence to the international standards of human rights developed by the United Nations and regional organizations beginning with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 1948, even when they are in gross violation of these standards. Yet it is important to ke…
The State, the Law, and Human Rights in Modern Greece
Controversy has revolved around the issue of the universalism of human rights versus cultural relativism. Advocates of universality contend that individual rights either are or are becoming valid throughout the world. Although the notion of individual human rights emerged at a particular historical epoch in Europe, it is argued that in the post World War II era, this concept of rights is being disseminated along with modernization. Therefore, com…

Human Rights
Socialist Transformation in Greece
While not a coherent body of thought, the socialist ideology of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) and its leader, Andreas Papandreou, diverges from the socialist principles of post-World War II social democratic parties of Western Europe. The latter spoke for the working class in advanced industrialized societies. These social democrats accepted the legitimacy of capitalism and, assuming continued economic growth, advocated reformist pol…

Intergroup Conflict and British Colonial Policy
Nation-states are sustained through a multiplicity of institutional arrangements and through individual and group behavior appropriate to the framework of nationhood.' Fundamentally, these are grounded in a cognitive structure and a system of norms and values that define the what and how of reality in such a way that an international order composed of sovereign nation-states is perceived as natural and normal. In turn, sovereign political authori…
Political Implications of the Modern Greek Concept of Self
P OLITICAL SCIENTISTS, aware of the significance of social structure and cultural patterns for an understanding of political processes, have attempted to formulate conceptual frameworks and models which incorporate cultural and sociological phenomena.' From a scientific perspective these attempts raise basic methodological problems regarding the validity of the approaches used. A requisite for the development of science in the social sciences, as…
