This book explores competing definitions of Hellenism in the making
of the Greek state by drawing on critical historical and
geopolitical perspectives and their intersection with difference
and exclusion. It examines Greece’s central role in shaping the
state system, regional security, and nationalisms of the Balkans,
the Black Sea, and the Eastern Mediterranean regions. Understanding
the Greek State's social constitution helps learn about the past
and present intentions and strategies as well as local, national,
and European notions of security and identity. The book looks at
the relation of subaltern communities to state power and the
state’s ability and willingness to negotiate difference. It also
explores how the State’s identity politics shaped regional
geopolitics in the past two centuries. Chapters present case
studies that shed light on the Hellenization of Jewish
Thessaloniki, the Treaty of Lausanne’s making of Western
Thrace’s Muslim minority, the role and modes of settlement,
urbanization, and ‘bordering-as-statecraft’ in Eastern
Macedonia and Western Thrace, and the politics of erecting the
Athens Mosque, the first officially-licensed mosque outside Western
Thrace since Greek Independence. With examples from fieldwork in
Greek cities and borderlands, this book offers a wealth of primary
research from geographers and historians on the modern history of
Greek statehood. It will be of key interest to scholars of
political geography, international relations, and European history.
