Stassinopoulou DANKSAGUNG Die Vorbereitungen für diese Arbeit, zu denen auch einige Publikationen zum Thema gehörten, erstreckten sich über eine lange Periode, die Niederschrift meiner Dissertation hingegen erfolgte binnen eines Jahres und fiel, wie ich leider sagen muss, in eine schwere Zeit. Die Probleme in meinem Land machten es mir mitunter schwer, mich auf meine Arbeit zu konzentrieren und ließen des Öfteren Zweifel an der Sinnhaftigkeit dieses Unterfangens aufkommen. Dass ich die Arbeit schließlich doch zu Ende führen konnte, liegt daran, dass es Menschen gab, die mir außerordentlich viel Unterstützung, Hilfe und Zuspruch zuteil werden ließen. Ihnen möchte ich an dieser Stelle meinen herzlichen Dank aussprechen. An erster Stelle seien meine Betreuerin Univ. Prof. Dr. Maria A. Stassinopoulou und meine Begutachterin Ao.

  • Corporatist Ideas in Inter-War Greece: from Theory to Practice (1922–1940)
    Article European History Quarterly 2014, Vol. 44(1) 55–79 Corporatist Ideas in ! The Author(s) 2014 Reprints and permissions: Inter-war Greece: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0265691413513422 From Theory to ehq.sagepub.com Practice (1922–1940) Spyridon Ploumidis University of Athens, Greece Abstract The article examines the reception, conception and practical application of corporatist ideas in inter-war Greece. Drawing on Peter Williamson’s terms, this study looks closely at both consensual- and authoritarian-licensed corporatist theories and policies. In the period under consideration, Greece was a fledgling, fast industrializing society that was significantly affected by the economic advantages and misgivings of the ‘gloomy thirties’. High rates of unemployment, which were aggravated by the global economic crisis of 1929, low wages, long working hours and insufficient enforcement of labour law increased the dissatisfaction of the working classes and fanned social unrest. Consensual-licensed corporatist proposals for ‘professional representation’ entered the debate on the (re-)establishment of the Senate in 1928–29. Authoritarian-licensed corporatism found a much broader audience and practical scope during the Kondylis and the Metaxas dictatorships in the period 1935–40. Fascist-like corporatist practices were applied in agriculture and in the bargaining of collective agreements that regulated minimum wages and salaries. In fact, Metaxas had pronounced the transformation of his anti-parliamentary regime into a corporatist ‘new State’. However, the eventual imple- mentation of corporatist ideas was rather limited. For that matter, I argue that inter- bellum Greece remained, in its European setting, a marginal case of corporatist theories and policies.

  • Of Greek Feminism
    Arms and the Woman Margaret Poulos Interwar Democratisation and the Rise of Equality: The 'First Wave' of Greek Feminism 3.1 Introduction After Parren's pioneering efforts in the late nineteenth century, a new feminism emerged in 1 Greece during the interwar years, which was greater in scale and whose primary focus was the extension of suffrage to women. As such it is often referred to as the 'first wave' of Greek feminism, in line with Anglo-American conceptions of feminist history.1 Interwar feminism emerged in the context of the 'Bourgeois Revolution' of Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos— the period of great socio-political and economic transformation between 1909 and 1935,2 during which the territorial gains of the Balkan Wars (1912–13), participation in the Great War, and the massive demographic changes following the catastrophic Asia Minor campaign of 1921–223 were amongst the events of greatest consequence. The ascendancy of liberal politician Eleftherios Venizelos reflected largely a subterranean transformation of the Greek social economy. The struggle for dominance between the increasingly powerful merchant classes or bourgeoisie and the traditional (mainly rural) social classes—represented by the aristocracy, landowners, the peasantry, and the clergy—intensified and culminated in the Revolution of 1909,4 which brought Venizelos to power. As the bourgeoisie's most significant advocate, Venizelos ushered in a new political paradigm in his efforts to create the institutions indispensable to a modern republic, in the place of the traditional system of absolute clientelism that had prevailed since Independence. Amongst his important contributions were legislative reforms and the establishment of institutions that supported the growth of the fledgling industrial economy.

  • Justice As a Cause of the 1821 Greek Revolution
    260 Phronimon, Vol 2 2000 JUSTICE AS A CAUSE OF THE 1821 GREEK REVOLUTION V Papadopoulos Thessa/oniki, Greece Sun of justice perceptible, and glorious myrsine, forget not I pray you my country Odysseas Elytis Ai I hope that my speech will result in a better knowledge of people, a better understanding of our age and an insight into some of the causes of human misery. A2 Before beginning, J should note that my lecture has rather more to do with the second concept expressed in the name of the South African Society for Greek Philosophy and the Humanities - that of human sciences - than with the first, of philosophy. Bi. What we shall be looking at is how justice was seen, by the Ottomans, by the monarchs of Europe, and by the Greeks. Wh at the Ottomans understood by justice was preserving the power they had over their ensJaved peopJes; keeping absolute jurisdiction over the lives, the honour and the property of the rayahs, 1 behaving towards them arbitrarily and barbarously, and holding their Christian subjects obligated to work for them in order to assure their conquerors the necessaries of life. After the fall of Napoleon, the monarchs of Europe decided both within their own boundaries and beyond them to apply "the sacred principles of religion, justice and peace".2 It is, however, a commonplace that what these monarchs understood by justice was keeping their peoples enslaved and using bJoody military intervention to repress any popular aspirations to freedom, as exemplified byevents in Italy and Spain.3 Phronimon Special Edition 2000 261 What the Greeks understood by justice was what the ordinary man understands by this word,4 namely, having what belonged to them, as the people they were.

  • Church of Greece Under Axis Occupation
    Church of Greece under Axis Occupation A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Panteleymon E Anastasakis IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser: Theofanis G. Stavrou August 2009 © Panteleymon E Anastasakis, August 2009 Acknowledgements Completion of this dissertation would not have been possible without the constant support of teachers, family, and friends, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to thank them all. Among the several teachers who have contributed substantially to my “paedeia,” I would like first to thank members of my dissertation committee. My adviser Professor Theofanis G. Stavrou played a central role in this learning process from the moment I expressed interest in working with him at the University of Minnesota until I defended my dissertation. Among other things, it was he who suggested the dissertation topic of the role of the Church of Greece during the Axis occupation of the country. Throughout my years at Minnesota, he provided valuable advice and encouragement, and continued to have faith in me even when I wavered. Professor John Kim Munholland maintained a deep interest in my work at all times. He encouraged me to view the Greek experience in the broader European context of the Second World War, occupation, and resistance. From our first seminar until my dissertation defense, his insightful comments played a crucial role in shaping me as a scholar. Similarly, Professor Sarah Chambers, a Latin America expert, contributed her own useful comparative insights to the project. I especially appreciated her suggestion to explore in greater detail society’s expectations from institutions like the church as opposed to expectations from state institutions.

  • The History and Interventions of the Hellenic League for Human Rights (1918–2013)
    THE HISTORY AND INTERVENTIONS OF THE HELLENIC LEAGUE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS (1918–2013) Michalis Moraitidis READING UP ON THE HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE: GOALS AND BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT The Hellenic League for Human Rights is the oldest organisation that defends and intervenes decisively for human rights in Greece, having made its appearance long before the acronym NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation) entered the Greek vocabulary. The League is an association (somateio) set up under the provisions of the Greek Civil Code, and its history is intertwined with the contemporary his- tory of Greece and the many significant changes that occurred in the public sphere during its existence. In 2012, under the supervision of its current chairman Konstantinos Tsitse- likis, professor at the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki, the Hellenic League for Human Rights initiated a research project to examine its organisational history.1 The main intent of this ongoing project is to seek out and unearth the elements composing the history of the League from its establishment towards the end of the second decade of the 20th century (1918) to the present.2 This specific goal is achieved by studying relevant primary documents, in particular the private archives of committed former members of the League. These include the private archive of its founding chairman (chairmanship 1936) Alexandros Svolos, profes- sor of constitutional law at Athens University3 and leading member of the Greek Social Democratic Party (Sosialistiko Komma – Enosis Laikis Dimokratias, SK- ELD)4; the archive of Charalampos Protopappas, lawyer, leading proponent of the 1 Until now, there are no relevant books or articles dealing with the history of the Hellenic League for Human Rights.
