The Development of the Study of War in Greece Since 1989

Abstract

This report focuses on the study of the – other than Naval – War History in Greece since 1989. It presents the corresponding work of the Greek Ministry of Defense and its associated bodies and that of the Greek academia and non-professionals, whose quantity has been overwhelming. It also points out the strengths and limitations of the corresponding Greek historiography, its utility for national and practical purposes and the neccessity for its thematical and chronological broadening. It concludes that the study of War in Greece is set to develop further, if only because of the many, chronic security challenges that this country is facing.
