Abstract
After the beginning of the revolution, during the First Parliamentary period, from April 1822, the Cyclades belonged to the system of division of provinces, established by the “Organisation of the Greek Provinces”, according to the model of Napoleon’s administrative reform (1802). However, since the first period of the organization’s implementation, the pre-revolutionary communal authorities of the Cyclades seem to have resisted the system and the representatives of the provinces on the islands, a dimension that has been interpreted by historiography so far as a clash of the traditional world with the modernities of the revolution. Recent systematic research in the archives of the revolution, on the other hand, shows that the conflicts on the Cyclades, involving both local consuls and deputy consuls of European powers, constitute the political and social strategies of the island’s ruling classes to ensure their participation in the new distribution of political powers and roles inaugurated by the revolution. Strategies that seem to have transformed the island community itself.
