In total 46 papers were submitted by 47 presenters, coming from 20 different countries (Algeria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Egypt, France, Israel, Italy, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Tunisia, Turkey, and USA). The conference was organized into 10 sessions that included a variety of topic areas such as Politics, History, Tourism, Business & Economics, Arts, Heritage, as well as Social, Cultural & Educational Issues. A full conference program can be found before the relevant abstracts. In accordance with ATINER‘s Publication Policy, the papers presented during this conference will be considered for inclusion in one of ATINER‘s many publications. The purpose of this abstract book is to provide members of ATINER and other academics around the world with a resource through which to discover colleagues and additional research relevant to their own work. This purpose is in congruence with the overall mission of the association. ATINER was established in 1995 as an independent academic organization with the mission to become a forum where academics and researchers from all over the world could meet to exchange ideas on their research and consider the future developments of their fields of study. It is our hope that through ATINER‘s conferences and publications, Athens will become a place where academics and researchers from all over the world regularly meet to discuss the developments of their discipline and present their work. Since 1995, ATINER has organized more than 400 international conferences and has published nearly 200 books. Academically, the institute is organized into 6 divisions and 37 units. Each unit organizes at least one annual conference and undertakes various small and large research projects. For each of these events, the involvement of multiple parties is crucial. I would like to thank all the participants, the members of the organizing and academic committees, and most importantly the
