The Master’s Program delves into the political phenomenon through a historical lens, integrating the theoretical and empirical tools of history and historiography with those of political science. The program specifically focuses on the factors that have shaped contemporary politics, from the emergence of European modernity to the present global era. This macro-historical perspective allows for an in-depth examination of contemporary political developments, including the state and interstate systems, international relations, war, economics, the legitimacy of power, political ideologies, forms of political mobilization and action, social exclusion and discrimination, and the interplay between politics and religion. Special emphasis is placed on the historical trajectory of the Greek nation-state within this framework. The aim of the Master’s Program is to underscore the historical context of political phenomena and contribute to their study from a critical perspective. The program seeks to deepen and specialize students’ knowledge by mastering modern historiography’s research and interpretive methods, along with systematic training in archival research. The program is also designed to enhance the professional training and career prospects of graduates by equipping them with valuable knowledge and research skills that can be applied to the critical analysis of both historical events and current social and political developments.
