The main focus of this paper is the study of the Athenian ideology of law, the values associated with the rule of law, the functioning body of Roman law, the interrelationship between law and society, and the rhetoric of ancient international law. This paper seeks to fill a gap in the current literature by examining different aspects of the Athenian commitment to the rule of law, the contemporary ideology of judicial process, the earliest developments of the law of nations, and the primary sources of a law of nations in antiquity.

Recession and major financial instability in Greece have been accompanied by a deep socio-political crisis. The author aims to analyze the inability of both dominant and opposing political parties to meet public's expectations and develop a sustainable ideological schema that would ensure social unity. It is furthermore argued that this kind of political deficit has allowed anti-establishment, ultra-nationalist political forces to rise, offering to citizens a dangerously attractive, alternative perspective to identify with.

Is there a date signaling the beginning of a new era? As regards Europe, at least, a potential candidate is the year 1992 - the year of the Maastricht Treaty - which marked the beginning of EU's expansion, thus investing the term "globalization" with a new meaning. But 1992 is also the year that marked a significant, symbolic change in the Hellenic Higher Education system: it is the year in which women were first permitted to join the Military Academy of Greece. My paper will therefore trace the trajectory of female cadets at the Hellenic Military Academy, focusing on the relation of gender to educational institutions that traditionally resist change (such as the Academies of the Armed Forces), and examining the extent to which the process of globalization has influenced both the cadets' own perception of the role of the contemporary Army Officer, and the very notion of a "proper," "feminine" career.

This study is grounded in the considerable body of scholarship examining the formation of the global environment around the Greek crisis, the evolution of the crisis that affected the Greek economy, the need of financing the individuals and the enterprises after the crisis, and the impact of the crisis on the basic aggregates of the global economy. The paper generates insights about the impact of the economic crisis on Greece's external relations, the impact of the crisis on Greece's foreign policy, the association of self-rated health with economic crisis, and the role played by global finance in the crisis in the euro zone.
