While political and social historians have made great progress in
trying to understand the making of modern Greece by studying *
politics and power struggles, little attention has been given to
the co-evolution of the Greek state and the technologies that were
developed during this period. This volume helps fills this gap,
exploring the formation of the Greek state and the construction of
'modern' Greece through the lens of the history of technology and
industry. The contributors look at the role of engineering
institutions, the press and of infrastructure technological
networks in promoting specific technocratic ideals and legitimizing
social roles for the engineers of the period. The volume as a whole
offers new insights into the way that engineering culture,
institutional reforms and infrastructures contributed to the making
of 'modern' Greece. Special Issue: History of Technology in Greece,
from the Early 19th to 21st Century Edited by Stathis Arapostathis
and Aristotelis Tympas
