This volume presents the contributions to a symposium held on May 9th, 2009 at the Humanities Center at Harvard University that focused on the question of how peace and interstate stability were established and maintained in archaic and classical Greece. In this context, different perspectives and approaches, ranging from pragmatic political goals and the definition and interpretation of key terms such as eirene to the underlying norms and their relevance for the realpolitik, were discussed. The articles in this volume shed new light on the various political instruments that the Greeks developed and employed to avoid war and to keep and organize peace. They focus on the analysis of commonly accepted terms that provided the basis for a settlement between conflicting parties and the analysis of various political strategies, including one-time arrangements to limit military conflicts, diplomatic efforts, legally binding agreements and more comprehensive concepts of interstate stability.
Julia Wilker is Assistant Professor of Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Her major fields of interest include Jewish history in the Greco-Roman period, the Near East in Hellenistic and Roman times, late classical Greece and cross-cultural interactions and concepts of identity in the ancient world.

"Insgesamt bildet dieses kleine Buch einen wichtigen Beitrag zu der in der Forschung aktuell stark diskutierten und noch nicht abgeschlossenen Debatte uber Bedeutung und Erfolg der griechischen Diplomatie." Sebastian Scharff, sehepunkte 14 (2014), Nr. 10. "Wahrend andere Tagungssammelbande haufig eine nur geringe inhaltliche Homogenitat aufweisen, folgen die Beitrage in der vorliegenden Publikation klar einer einheitlichen Fragestellung. Zudem kommen nicht nur erwiesene Expert/innen zu Wort, sondern auch Nachwuchswissenschaftler/innen. (...) Der Sammelband zeigt, welches Potential die Beschaftigung mit der griechischen Auaenpolitik noch immer bietet; die Lekture sei daher allen an dieser Thematik Interessierten empfohlen."
