Cultural Trauma and Divisive Political Identities
The article examines the relationship amongst cultural trauma, trust in public institutions, and political inclinations in Greece, and tests the hypothesis that cultural trauma could shape, in various degrees, the basal civil-political identity of the individual. Our quantitative research, based on a nation-wide random sample, suggests that civil-political identity is interrelated to, and possibly is preceded by deeply held worldviews informed by…
The Transcendental and the Immanent as Liturgical Experience – the Greek Orthodox Case
The essay is a quantitative analysis of a questionnaire distributed to a sample of 775 worshipers immediately after the Sunday Liturgy in a random number of churches in Athens, Thessaloniki and Mytilini. The questions addressed to them try to grasp feelings and thoughts felt during liturgical experience and effervescence as such, as well as reflections concerning the religious and the political self. The findings suggest that the liturgy has prof…

Visions of Brotherhood; a Comparative Analysis of Direct Democracy in Ancient and Modern Greece
Collective "memories" of the original democracy of classical Athens have inspired the formation of the direct-democracy, "Syntagma Square" movement. The movement, a reaction to the ongoing social crisis in Greece, challenges the legitimacy of the liberal, representative, democracy accusing the "memorandum party system" for immoral contact and treasonous collaboration with Greece's foreign debtors. Taking this development as an opportunity to exam…

The Social Sources and Environmental Consequences of Axial Thinking: Mesopotamia, China, and Greece in Comparative Perspective
In an effort to identify the social sources and environmental consequences of axial thinking, and in particular of rational naturalism, three civilizational centres are compared: Ancient Mesopotamia, China, and Greece. Analysis of a series of societal features suggests that 1) axial thinking in the form of reflective intellectual networks arose in areas where a pre-axial priesthood was organizationally and functionally weak; 2) for the emergence …
New Social Movements: Between Civil Society and Communitarianism
In an effort to nullify the dehumanizing effects of modern life, New Social Movements (NSMs) tend to snub the principles of civil society and in the process embrace values associated with Rousseau's communitarianism. A crucial precondition for the rise of the latter is the establishment of small and intimate organizations, detached from open and multiple networks. This is an extremely difficult endeavor and few social movements achieve it, since …
The Medieval Roots of Our Environmental Crisis
Religion and attitudes towards nature in Britain
Religious institutions have been identified as important conduits in shaping social attitudes toward nature and the environment. Using Lynn White's historical thesis that Judeo-Christianity has cherished the domination of nature ('dominion' belief) by humans as our frame of reference, this article examines the impact of religion, specifically Abrahamic and Judeo-Christian beliefs, on environmental attitudes in Britain. Based on the 1993 British S…
Religion and Environmental Issues within Anglo-American Democracies
Strategic Minorities and the Global Network of Power: Western Thrace and Northern Ireland in Comparative Perspective
The relationship between ethnic communities who share a common national space is often affected by factors above civil society, such as inter-state relations, political and economic alliances, and geopolitical interests. The relevance of ethnic minorities' identity and behaviour to the international political environment becomes clear whenever an ethnic minority occupies territory of geopolitical and/or geo-economic importance to countries with c…
