Sotiris Roussos on the Middle East Question (Part II) | 19 July 2025, 13:00

The program “Historical Walks” on Voice of Greece attempts to shed light on the roots of the Middle East Question — a conflict often seen as one of the world’s most intractable.

With international relations expert and Middle East specialist Sotiris Roussos, Professor at the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the University of the Peloponnese, we explore the deep historical background and key turning points of the Israeli-Palestinian issue, from the 19th century to the present.

In this first part of the special series, we delved into the origins of the conflict.

In Part II, airing on Saturday 19 July at 13:00 (Athens time), the focus shifts to the political dynamics within Israel and Palestine from the mid-20th century to today. Was October 7, 2023 a tragic anomaly — or the inevitable result of developments since 1967? What has changed since then? And is sustainable peace still within reach?

We all carry an image of our origins, shaped by our family, our education, the national narrative, and the collective memories we bear. For Greeks, the idea of historical continuity and of “Greek origin” carries particular weight. But what does this continuity really mean? And what relationship mig...

Indigenous Peoples: The History of a Global Movement (Part II) | 06 Dec. 2025, 13:00

The program “Historical Walks” with Marilena Katsimi invites listeners on a journey into the often unknown world of Indigenous Peoples, a world very different from the images many of us carry in our imagination. The impetus for this journey is the new book by Professor Elsa Stamatopoulou, Indigenous Peoples in the International Arena: The Global Movement for Self-Determination (Routledge). The author, former head of the Secretariat of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and former Director of the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Program at Columbia University, discusses the explosive rise of the international Indigenous movement from the late 1970s through the adoption of the United Nations ...
