The course aims to examine the political, social and economic conditions of Greek society from the foundation of Modern Greek state (1832) until the beginning of 20th century. The course addresses various issues such as: the formation of the bureaucratic mechanism and clientelism, political institutions and political parties, national ideology and nationalism, the social stratification of the Modern Greek society and three major reforms that took place in 19th and 20th century relating to the credit system, the redistribution of land and the tax system. The course follows two main axes. On the one hand, a comparative perspective is adopted, according to which Greece is compared with European countries belonging either to the center of the continent or to its periphery. On the other hand, apart from the study of the historical events of the period, attention is also payed to the different historical approaches of them, i.e. to the Greek historiography of the last four decades.
