Περίληψη

Études helléniques/Hellenic Studies was published for the first time in spring 1983. 
In 1985 the publication of this journal was interrupted for various reasons, but we returned even stronger in 1994.
Our goal as set in 1983 was to become an international academic forum for dialogue and the exchange of ideas among all scholars dealing with the multifaceted issues of Hellenic studies (culture, society, politics, economy, diaspora, etc.). We still have the same mission. In fact, our publication in English and French has always sought to pursue the cooperation and contribution of the finest experts on Greek issues inside and outside Greece proper. This goal also remains.
After so many years of publishing by the Centre for Hellenic Studies and Research Canada-KEEK, we are pleased that as of this issue we are entering into a new era in cooperation with the Centre of Intercultural and Migration Studies-EDIAMME of the Department of Primary Education of the University of Crete and the Post-Graduate Program (Cultural, Economic and International Relations in the Mediterranean), of the Department of Mediterranean Studies at the University of the Aegean. This trilateral cooperation will permit us to continue publishing this academic journal, which has become an international reference on issues of Hellenic studies. With a new élan, we will continue focussing on the same ambitious goal - provide an international academic forum for dialogue and the exchange of ideas among all scholars researching the multifaceted field of Hellenic studies.
