Abstract
The development of sociology in Greece cannot be understood outside the political history and the general socioeconomic development of the country. This article outlines the general political trends in postwar Greece and points to the collapse of the dictatorship of the Colonels in 1974 as a historical landmark for the development of democracy and the growth of sociology as an academic discipline in Greece. The general sociological patterns and the prevalence of Marxist sociology are briefly explored within the same framework. Finally, developments in sociology in Greece are linked to developments in international sociology and to general socioeconomic change at a national and global level.
