Περιέχει το πλήρες κείμενο ; Suggests that the specific character of Greece has had a pronounced influence on the development and growth of libraries. Maintains that its geographical disposition and turbulent history have produced a nation of contrasting social, economic and political styles. Discusses the structure of Greek universities focussing on the Aristotelean University of Thessaloniki as a basis for making comparisons and identifying major issues. Describes collection development, bibliographic organisation and library personnel and asserts that changes in academic libraries will only come about as a result of changes in the structure of Greek higher education.

Despite the catastrophic phase between 2008 and the end of 2014, much of a previously unsustainable development has been corrected in Greece and there are clear signs that the deterioration came to a halt in 2014. But what is publicly known about the priorities of the newly elected Syriza government suggests that they may be going largely into the wrong direction.

Patriotism is a word derived from ancient Greek, and to judge from modern definitions of the concept, which emphasize a person's willingness to fight, kill, and die for his or her political community, it was something the Greeks knew all too well. Their history is dominated by war, but if this bellicosity demonstrates the fervency of Greek patriotism, it also reveals that it was far from monolithic. Instead, as the Greeks themselves recognized, two types of patriotism coexisted in classical Greece, namely, "higher patriotism," which focused on the common identity of the Greeks as a distinct culture group, and "lower patriotism," which focused on the narrower political community or polis. This patriotic duality naturally created the potential for both cooperation and conflict, and as this chapter will reveal, it exercised a profound influence on both the Greeks and their history.

Seeking to offer a unified theory about Greece's current political and economic crisis, this article unravels the particular mechanisms through which this country developed as a populist democracy, that is, a pluralist system in which both the government and the opposition parties turn populist. It furthermore shows how this democracy facilitated the political class and the vast majority in Greek society to achieve and maintain for several decades an admirably high coordination of aims enabling them to exploit the state and its resources. Seen within the theoretical framework proposed, Greece offers policy-oriented scholars crucial insights into what may go badly wrong in developed Western democracies.

Greece was the European nation worst hit by the European Sovereign Debt Crisis, as well as the nation most resistant to reform after it. One of the key reasons for this was the political chaos and rise of populism that came about as a side-effect of the financial crisis. Thus began a new era in Greek politics known as post-metapolitefsi populism. In order to understand how extreme of a case Greece truly is, the case was compared to the theories of Margaret Canovan and Paul Taggart who are both well-respected authors within the scholarly field on populism. The research aimed to test the transferability of two of their theories to that of post-metapolitefsi populism in Greece. Canovan (1999) argues that populism in democracies arises through a gap between the redemptive and pragmatic side of democracy whilst Taggart (2004) presents five features of an 'ideal' type of populism. The research explores how well each key tenet of each theory fits with the rise and functioning of recent populism in Greece.

In this thesis I consider the political and economic interactions of a representative sample of seventh and sixth century B.C. state-level societies from the Aegean basin. This thesis is structured around three material based case studies, all of which use computational network-analytical techniques, and all of which consider closely issues of representativeness and uncertainty surrounding the target datasets. First, I analyse how the distribution of coinage and of ceramic types might be used together to shed light on the nature of the ancient economy, and I also consider the extent to which coins might indicate that some economic and political networks overlapped. Second, I analyse the lettersets used on inscriptions from various parts of the Aegean, and I argue that scribes chose to associate themselves with or distance themselves from certain identities and networks of political affiliation by choosing to write in various ways. Third, I investigate what the remains of freestanding marble sculpture might tell us about the scale at which some aspects of the ancient economy operated, and about shipping routes in archaic Greece. I conclude that, contrary to the long-held belief by scholars, political activity did not determine other forms of networking between city-states, nor are political interactions readily visible in the archaeological record. Furthermore, I suggest that there was a greater degree of planning and targeting of markets in the formation of the economy of archaic Greece than has been generally understood. The contributions of this thesis, therefore, are both historical, in suggesting these alternative narratives, but also methodological, in providing ways to creatively engage with the critical mass of material data that exists from archaic Greece. ; Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Pembroke College, award number AH/L503897/1
