The world of ancient Greece witnessed some of the most
sophisticated and varied experiments with federalism in the
pre-modern era. In the volatile interstate environment of Greece,
federalism was a creative response to the challenge of establishing
regional unity, while at the same time preserving a degree of local
autonomy. To reconcile the forces of integration and independence,
Greek federal states introduced, for example, the notion of
proportional representation, the stratification of legal practice,
and a federal grammar of festivals and cults. Federalism in Greek
Antiquity provides the first comprehensive reassessment of the
topic. It comprises detailed contributions on all federal states in
Aegean Greece and its periphery. With every chapter written by a
leading expert in the field, the book also incorporates thematic
sections that place the topic in a broader historical and
social-scientific context.
