Abstract:
\"The ancient Greek polis was both a nucleated settlement and a political community. Polis is traditionally rendered city-state, but for more than a century it has been doubted whether the urban centre of apolis was really a “city” and whether the political organisa­ tion of apolis had any resemblance to a “state” in the modern sense.
The polis as an urban centre is the theme of the first three papers published in the Acts of the Copenhagen Polis Centre 4 = Hist.Fil.Medd.Dan.Vid.Selsk. 75 (1997); and in my own contribution to the volume I argued that - both as a phenomenon and as a concept - the polis was a city in the Weberian (historical) sense o f the term.
This volume is devoted to the other problem: was the polis a state? An answer to this question presupposes an answer to two other questions: (a) what is a state? and (b) what was a polisl I do not intend in this study to treat the origin of the polis but to compare the classical polis of the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. with the modem state of the 20th century...\" - MOGENS HERMAN HANSEN The Copenhagen Polis Centre
