Speaker and Talk Summary

Christos Aliprantis
Philhellenism and the Counter-Revolution in Europe after 1815.

This presentation deals with conservative responses to Philhellenism across Europe during the Greek revolution of 1821-30. The talk studies the police measures of various European states (Austria, Prussia, France) against the Philhellenes and thus it sheds light upon the origins of transnational policing in modern Europe.
