Institute of International Relations (IDIS)
The Institute of International Relations (IDIS) is affiliated with the Department of International and European Studies at Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences and constitutes Greece’s leading research institute in international affairs.
The vision to create a forum where students, researchers, professors, diplomats, and practitioners of international affairs could engage in a meaningful free exchange of ideas led to the founding of the Institute in 1989 by Professor Dimitri Constas.
Mandarin Books
As our name suggests, Mandarin Books is dedicated to the Mandarin language—its structure, function, and underlying philosophy. Through this lens, we aim to offer deeper insight into Chinese culture and history. Our core mission is the publication of educational materials for learning Mandarin, tailored specifically for Greek-speaking students.
Our vision is to build a community of individuals who share our passion for Mandarin and who seek to bring Chinese literature and thought closer to Greek readers.
While language education remains our primary focus, MANDARIN books has recently expanded its scope. Our new literary series, Vitamin C, launched with the republication of the out-of-print novel Red Planet by Alexander Bogdanov, translated by Eleni Bakopoulou. We are also preparing to publish a significant essay on the Belt and Road Initiative by I. Rogelja and K. Tsimonis.
