This book provides a solid and critical historical examination of
the endorsement, development and course of Greek nationalism among
the lay/clerical leadership of the Greek Orthodox minority of
Istanbul during the last phase of the dissolution of the Ottoman
Empire and the first years of the newly established Republic of
Turkey. The focus is on the political role played by the
ethnocentric communal elite, who actively championed the Greek
nationalist plan of the Megali Idea (Great Idea). Based on a
comparative investigation and synthesis of a wide array of Greek
and British archival sources the book engages with the various
stages of Constantinopolitan Greek elite nationalism in Turkey and
partly in Greece, and examines its manifestations, its level of
success and its consequences on the minority during the crucial
period of 1918-1930. The main argument is that the internal
dynamics, the policies and the responses of this powerful communal
elite vis-a-vis other communal factions as well as Greek
irredentism and Turkish nation-building conditioned to a
significant degree the construction of specific representations and
perceptions of the group's collective identity and determined the
status of the Greeks of Istanbul as a national minority in Turkey
until nowadays. Providing a thorough analysis of elite politics
during and in the aftermath of the Greek-Turkish War and assessing
the application of the minority clauses of the Treaty of Lausanne
(July 1923), the volume is a key resource for students and
academics interested in nationalism and minorities, modern Greek
history, Ottoman and Turkish history as well as for policy makers
and specialists working in the diplomatic field, the Greek and
Turkish public service, international institutions and
non-governmental organizations.
