The struggle for Greek independence in 1821 reverberated around the world and with effects continuing to be felt today – almost 200 years later. Mark Mazower examines what we can learn about our own attitudes to questions of state sovereignty, humanitarian intervention and politics itself from those long-ago events and the way they were understood at the time.

The CAS/MillerComm public events series brings to campus people who offer unique cross-disciplinary contributions to the intellectual and cultural life of the university.

This Center for Advanced Study event is hosted by the Modern Greek Studies Program in conjunction with the Art History Program, Center for Global Studies, Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, Department of History, Department of Linguistics, Department of Political Science, European Union Center, Russian, East European and Eurasian Center, School of Architecture, School of Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics, and the Spurlock Museum.
