COURSE DETAILS:
The focus of this course is the political, economic, and social history of modern Greece with a few references to cultural aspects and transformations. We will examine the various crises the Modern Greek State has endured from its founding in 1830 to the present, from political crises (army coups, dictatorships, civil wars, national crises and wars), to social crises (resettlement of refugees, immigration and emigration), and economic crises. We will use the current economic and political circumstances as a springboard to examine Modern Greek history and the transformations (or reactions) earlier policies and crises generated, and will place such developments within the context of European history. No prerequisites are necessary to take the course though a basic knowledge of modern European history will be useful.
The course aims to introduce students to the social and political history of modern Greece, help them understand current developments through the examination of political, social, and economic transformations over the past two centuries, and help them situate modern Greek history within a European context.

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
