as well a number of articles and papers which appeared in
Greek and foreign journals; four of these have been published
in international readers including volume 268 of the Annals of
the New York Academy of Sciences (1976). She has participated
with written contributions in a number of national
sociological conferences and international ones including the
Strasbourg Conference on the Development of Democratic Institutions
in Europe (April 1976). Jane Lambiri-Dimaki is also
