From antiquity until the nineteenth century, there have been two
types of state: macro-states, each dotted with a number of cities,
and regions broken up into city-states, each consisting of an urban
centre and its hinterland. A region settled with interacting
city-states constituted a city-state culture and Polis opens with a
description of the concepts of city, state, city-state, and
city-state culture, and a survey of the 37 city-state cultures so
far identified. Mogens Herman Hansen provides a thoroughly
accessible introduction to the polis (plural: poleis), or ancient
Greek city-state, which represents by far the largest of all
city-state cultures. He addresses such topics as the emergence of
the polis, its size and population, and its political organization,
ranging from famous poleis such as Athens and Sparta through more
than 1,000 known examples.
