Abstract
BEARING IN MIND THE ASSUMPTION THAT REGIONAL ECONOMIC GROWTH HAS AS ITS STARTING POINT THE MERE SOURCES OF THE REGION ITSELF, THE PRESENT DISSERTATION DEALS MAINLY WITH THE ECONOMIC HISTORY OF THE ISLAND OF ZAKYNTHOS FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE PRESENT. ALSO EMPHASIS IS GIVEN TO THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE AS WELL AS THE POLITICAL AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION STATUS QUO AS IT EXISTED IN THE VARIOUS PERIODS OF THE ISLAND'S HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT, SINCE IT IS UNDOUBTLY A FACT THAT ECONOMIC BEHAVIOUR CAN NOT BE APPROACHED IN A DIFFERENT MANNER (ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PERIOD UNDER CONSIDERATION IS SO LENGHTHLY) BY ONLY AS A BROAD STUDY OF BEHAVIOUR AS A WHOLE WHICH INCLUDES SOCIOECONOMIC AND POLITICAL VIEWS OF SOCIETY.
