{"product_id":"federalism-in-greek-antiquity-hans-beck-9780521192262","title":"Federalism in Greek Antiquity","description":"The world of ancient Greece witnessed some of the most sophisticated and varied experiments with federalism in the pre-modern era. In the volatile interstate environment of Greece, federalism was a creative response to the challenge of establishing regional unity, while at the same time preserving a degree of local autonomy. To reconcile the forces of integration and independence, Greek federal states introduced, for example, the notion of proportional representation, the stratification of legal practice, and a federal grammar of festivals and cults. Federalism in Greek Antiquity provides the first comprehensive reassessment of the topic. It comprises detailed contributions on all federal states in Aegean Greece and its periphery. With every chapter written by a leading expert in the field, the book also incorporates thematic sections that place the topic in a broader historical and social-scientific context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Beck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521192269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521192262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.25w x 1.51d","brand":"Hans Beck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056257036543,"sku":"9780521192262","price":176.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdb774ac-ca21-449a-bf1c-46c47d7b52c9.jpg?v=1685040358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/federalism-in-greek-antiquity-hans-beck-9780521192262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
