This product is the result of extensive research, methodical study, and fruitful reflection. This book narrates the creation and transformations of Greek political parties during the period 1821-1936.

The author analyzes the ideological positions and programs of the parties, their implicit goals and practical political decisions, their organizational structure, propaganda methods, and conflicts.

Critically addressing earlier historiography, which typically approached the party phenomenon with a negative predisposition, he highlights the methodological weaknesses of the historical interpretations that overemphasize the role of personal ambitions, external influences, or clientelistic relations.

His analysis is not limited to the party and political system but extends to the social structure, economy, ideological and spiritual climate, and social conflicts of the time.

Therefore, the book also serves as a comprehensive introduction to the political history of modern Greece.
