This volume presents Greek Maritime History and unravels the
historical trajectory of a maritime nation par excellence in the
Eastern Mediterranean. At the core of the book lies the rise of the
Greek merchant fleet and its transformation from a peripheral to an
international carrier. Following the evolution of Greek shipping
for more than three centuries (17th-20th century), the book traces
a maritime nation in its making and provides proof of a different,
yet successful pattern of maritime development compared to other
European maritime nations. The chapters adopt a multidimensional
and interdisciplinary approach - spanning from shipping, fishing
and trade to piracy, technology, human resources and
entrepreneurship - and reflect the main directions of Greek
maritime historiography over the last thirty years. Contributors
are: Apostolos Delis, Dimitris Dimitropoulos, Zisis Fotakis,
Katerina Galani, Gelina Harlaftis, Evdokia Olympitou, Gerassimos D.
Pagratis, Alexandra Papadopoulou, Socrates Petmezas, Evrydiki
Sifneos, Anna Sydorenko, Ioannis Theotokas, and Katerina
Vourkatioti.
