Summary:
Αikaterini-Maria Charalampaki, Contemporary Greek History.
In the present dissertation it was attempted to analyze the “one-hundred-day strike” of the Greek
Universities' Scientific Faculty sector, from the February until the May of 1978, within the specific
historical and political period. The fundamental issue that is addressed in the present dissertation is how
this strike had affected the university configuration in the post-dictatorship era. The main goal of the
dissertation is to delve more deeply into the attempt of the academic body for democratization of the field
of education and also, whether and how this request is related with the more general aspirations for re-
democratization after the end of dictatorship. It is also examined, how the circumstances were formed for
the reorganization of the educational system, within the frameworks of the first period after the regime
change and how the first concerns around academic institutional issues emerged. Finally, what
is also discussed, is the emergence of the Scientific Faculty, its constitution as a body and its broadness as
an integral part of the academic movement.
As a material the research uses, firstly, the primary sources that refer to the records of the members of the
sector themselves, and, secondly, the secondary literature composed on the topic of the educational
reforms that took place from 1974 and on. In addition, interviews from the members of the sector were
used in order to support the hypotheses that were formed from the primary resources, as well as further
information on the period that the strike took place.
The first chapter discusses the reorganization of education by the first government after the dictatorship,
from 1974 until 1977, and the process of the dialogues for the reorganization of education after the
dictatorship. The second and third chapter analyze the configuration of the sector of the Scientific
Faculty, the record of its establishment and it describes the end of the strike and the decision of the sector
for further actions. The period from 1979 until 1982 with the passage of the law 1268/82, is discussed
separately in the fourth chapter, where some of the most fundamental conclusions of the dissertation are
elaborated on. Finally, in the epilogue it is attempted to summarize the chapters above and the
conclusions.
Through the interviews and the literature review, it was attempted to describe the emergence of a newly
formed sector as an integral part of the academic movement and the importance that the one-hundred-day
strike had in the formation of the sector's identity. Moreover, the impact of the strike itself is studied and
how this strike interacted with the future image, the shape and the goals of the academic institutes, in the
post-dictatorship era. Finally, emphasis was given at the strike's qualitative characteristics and the
definition of its prominence.
