Hong Kong in the Greek Diplomatic Archives
The British colony of Hong Kong does not appear often in the archival collections of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) due to a lack of meaningful interaction with the Greek state (only some minor trade agreements, shipping disputes, translations of foreign reports). However, two sudden exigencies—the Greek exodus from China after 1949 and the South Chinese humanitarian crisis of 1962—activated Greek diplomacy, at home and in East Asia…
The paradox of the Mazzinian genealogies of ‘liberal nationalism’
The notion of ‘liberal nationalism,' popularized by Yael Tamir, has become a mainstay of nationalism studies. Recent years have witnessed its revival alongside debates on the persistence of nationalism in contemporary politics. The Italian nationalist ideologue Giuseppe Mazzini is often cited as the leading historical exponent of this inclusive form of nationalism. Mazzini is portrayed as a liberal because of his democratic and republican stances…
Modern Descendants of Odysseus
This study uncovers the little-known Greek presence in nineteenth- and twentieth-century China, using diplomatic documents from archives in Athens, Shanghai and Tianjin, as well as rare photographs and secondary sources. It traces the experiences of Greek settlers whose destinies were dramatically altered by the Japanese invasion of 1937, World War II and the rise of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, culminating in their displacement from Chin…
Italians in Africa and the Japanese in South East Asia
The comparison of early Italy's and Japan's colonialism is without precedence. The majority of studies on Italian and Japanese expansion refer to the 1930-1940s period (fascist/totalitarian era) when Japan annexed Manchuria (1931) and Italy Ethiopia (1936). The first formative and crucial steps that paved the way for this expansion have been neglected. This analysis covers a range of social, political and economic parameters illuminating the dive…
The First Italo-Ethiopian Clash over the Control of Eritrea and the Origins of Rome's Imperialism
In the wake of Italy's unification, the country's expansionist designs were aimed, as expected, toward the opposite shore of the Mediterranean. The barrage of developments that took place in this strategic area would shape the country's future alliances and colonial policies. The fear of French aggression on the coast of North Africa drove officials in Rome to the camp of the Central Powers, a diplomatic move of great importance for Europe's evol…

Italy in East Asia
The demographic-migration issue was to become a key alibi in Rome’s effort to take colonies, in which Italians were promised cultivable land, opportunities, social stature and advancement. The channeling of the surplus population in other areas constituted one of the pillars of Italian colonial policy and, by extension, reinforced the rhetoric linking the demographic issue with the quest for colonies. This justification of Italian colonialism as …
The Latecomers’ Early Colonial Experiment- The Uniqueness of the German Case
Modern Germany (1871), Japan (1868) and Italy (1861) were formed in the same period, the period of the New Imperialism, a time of diplomatic mistrust, protectionism, frenetic colonial and economic rivalry and of militarism, when the Great Powers (British Empire, the French Third Republic and the Russian Empire) had already established their hegemonic position in the world. Germany, Japan and Italy at the end of the 19th century were in need of st…
