Abstract

On the occasion of the completion of the bicentenary of the Greek War of Independence, and within the framework of its “Bicentenary of the Liberal Revolution”, the Centre for Liberal Studies (KEFiM) hosts a series of 12 podcasts, with the first guest being Maria Efthymiou, professor of modern Hellenism at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

The series aims to highlight generally unknown dimensions of the Greek Revolution with emphasis on the democratic and liberal dimension of its constitutions but also the overall institutional framework introduced during the period 1821-1832, in the modernising elements, in the construction of the revolutionary but also of the independent state, in the political dimensions of internal conflicts, in the role of the press, in foreign policy and the diplomatic dimension, fiscal policy, even in military facts and in personalities.
