Biography
Alexis Heraclides is Emeritus Professor of International Relations and Conflict Resolution at the Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences (Athens) and author of several books on self-determination, secession, the CSCE, humanitarian intervention, the Middle East conflict, the Cyprus Problem, the Greek-Turkish antagonism with emphasis on the Aegean dispute, the Macedonian Question and others.
"Alexis Heraclides’ book is a valuable synthesis on the Macedonian Question, which elucidates most aspects of this complex issue, combining a thorough and balanced historical account with the analysis of contemporary political developments. Taking in account that, due to the language difference between Greece and North Macedonia, readers and even scholars mostly ignore the relevant literature of the other side, such a book in English was certainly needed." - Athena Skoulariki, University of Crete, Historein
