He has been appointed to the Advisory Board of the European Association of History Educators (EUROCLIO).
Fields of interestHe has written extensively on Balkan history, and Greek history. His book The Balkans: A Short History won the Wolfson History Prize and Inside Hitler's Greece: The Experience of Occupation, 1941–44, won both the Longman History Today Award for Book of the Year. Salonica, City of Ghosts: Christians, Muslims and Jews 1430-1950 was the Runciman Prize and Duff Cooper Prize winner and was shortlisted for the Hessell-Tiltman Prize.
In addition, Mazower is more broadly concerned with 20th-century European history. His book Dark Continent: Europe's 20th century argued that the triumph of democracy in Europe was not inevitable but rather the result of chance and political agency on the part of citizens, subjects and leaders.
In Hitler's Empire: Nazi Rule in Occupied Europe, Mazower compared Nazi occupation policy in different European countries.
His most recent book No Enchanted Palace was published in 2009. It narrates the origins of the United Nations and its strict ties to colonialism and its predecessor organization, the League of Nations.
