Project description
How the Ancient Greeks successfully managed their borders
Federal (central) organisations alone – whether in ancient Greece or modern-day society – cannot limit or resolve conflict within and beyond borders. The EU-funded FeBo project is putting emphasis on how the Greek federal states tackled internal and external border issues. It will demonstrate that federal states carried out careful border management policies aimed at preserving a balance of power and stability rather than a peaceful coexistence. In addition, it will demonstrate that these strategies had to take into consideration economic, ethnic, cultural and religious networks to succeed.
