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
center 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.
