Beschreibung
This book explores how a small European power navigated the turbulent landscape of international politics between the two world wars. Bridging diplomatic history and international relations theory, the book traces Greece’s effort to balance moral commitment to collective security with the pragmatic imperatives of survival in an era marked by the collapse of the Versailles order, the rise of Fascist revisionism, and shifting regional alliances. From the League of Nations and the Briand Plan for European unity to relations with Britain, Italy, and Turkey, the study reveals Greece’s diplomacy as an instructive case of small-state agency under constraint. Combining rich archival research with conceptual clarity, this book offers new insight into the interplay of idealism and realism in international affairs—and highlights enduring lessons for small and middle powers operating in a world of unstable hierarchies and competing great-power ambitions.
