Gender and Migration in Southern Europe: Women on the Move
The important role women play in the process of migration to the Western bloc - and in particular to Southern Europe where they often find jobs in the domestic service, tourist or sex industries - has been increasingly recognized. This timely book provides essential new insights into the forms of migration and the impact of gender relations on the migration and accommodation process, and also raises general conceptual issues about ways of underst…
The rise of the far right in Greece and opposition to ‘othering’, hate speech, and crime by civil and civic organizations
This article focuses on forms of opposition to ‘othering’ and far-right politics in present-day Greece. This opposition takes a variety of forms, comes from a range of actors, and is motivated by a number of concerns with differing assessments of what should be done. More specifically, the article focuses on the far right in Greece and discrimination, hate speech, and hate crime against the ‘other’ from the perspectives of those who are active in…

The Securitisation of Migration in the EU: Debates Since 9/11
Since 9/11 Western states have sought to integrate 'securitisation' measures within migration regimes as asylum seekers and other migrant categories come to be seen as agents of social instability or
International Migration into Europe: From Subjects to Abjects
This book aims to decipher the complex web of structural, institutional and cultural contradictions which shape the inclusion-exclusion dialectic and the multifaceted grid within which the 'us' become
Retracted: The Right to Asylum and EU Asylum Procedure in Greece
Greece, under intense criticism over its asylum management by local NGO actors and European member states, has established a new asylum service, in 2013. In this article we explore the practice and the discourses that occur at the Appeals Authority, an independent authority in the determination of refugee eligibility at second instance, of the newly established Asylum Service in Greece. As members of appeal committees engage with each other and w…
Securitization of migration and the far right: The case of Greek security professionals
Since the events of 9/11, security concerns have gained unprecedented dominance on western governments' national and international political agendas; Greece has been no exception. The success or failure of a far right party, like Golden Dawn, depends on the effectiveness of the government to regulate immigration and to develop policies aimed at combating the racism which pervades the political culture of society at this particular juncture, when …
People, State and Civic Responses to Immigration, Xenophobia and Racism in the New South Africa
Civic Stratification, ‘Plastic’ Citizenship and ‘Plastic Subjectivities’ in Greek Immigration Policy
Between Euroscepticism and Eurosupport: The Attitudes of Urban and Rural Populations in Poland 2000–2008
Three main factors explain public support for EU membership: utilitarian expectations, the role of values and ideas, and class partisanship. In the Polish case, public opinion polls and issues more specific to Poland, such as the role of the Catholic Church, populist political parties and profound Euroscepticism among farmers, suggest that although these theoretical explanations overlap, each of them has a different explanatory value. The economi…
Albanian Migration to Greece: Patterns and Processes of Inclusion and Exclusion in the Labour Market
The Albanian case represents the most spectacular instance of East–West migration after the dismantling of the Iron Curtain. This paper examines the ways in which Albanians have been able to access employment in Greece and analyzes the processes through which the exclusion of Albanians in employment has occurred. In doing so, we acknowledge the multi-dimensionality of the concept and we look at what kind of inclusion different groups and individu…
Les Infirmières Exclusives and Migrant Quasi-Nurses in Greece
The article explores the complex experiences and positions of migrant women in the `nursing profession' in a southern European country, Greece. It looks at ways in which a rudimentary welfare state and a large informal economy have created the demand for les infirmières exclusives and for `quasi-nurses'. The supply and use of their services, on the one hand, helps perpetuate this informal welfare system and, on the other, has implications for mig…
Old, Poor and Alone in Palestine
In most societies there has been a progressive transfer of responsibility for caring for the older people from the family to the state. The political context of the Palestinian population of the occupied territories has made this impossible. The paper reports on a large scale survey of the problems of caring for older people in Palestine. It shows significant variations in the problems faced by older people, with those living alone outside refuge…
Southern European Welfare States: Problems, Challenges and Prospects
In this first analytical monograph on the subject, George Katrougalos and Gabriella Lazaridis examine the social welfare state of the main four Southern European countries, Spain, Italy, Portugal and
Survival Ethnic Entrepreneuers in Greece: A Mosaic of Informal and Formal Business Activities
This paper explores the phenomenon of ethnic entrepreneurship in Greece. Greece has been transformed from an emigration to an immigration country. Since the 1990s the majority of migrant workers occupy low paid, unskilled jobs in the informal economy. However, some set up (in) formal businesses. Ethnic entrepreneurs of our study have been excluded from social and economic opportunities. By running a business they struggle against exclusion, have …
Trafficking and Prostitution: The Growing Exploitation of Migrant Women in Greece
This article concentrates on the rapid growth of trafficking in women from Eastern and Central Europe who end up working in the sex industry in Athens. Such movement of people is constituted around global networks of female labour. The social processes and mechanisms that produce and reproduce the somatic and social exploitation of female migrants caught in the web of the sex industry are analysed. These processes are responsible for a continuati…
Youth Citizenship and Unemployment: The Case of Passive and Active Labour Market Policies towards the Young Unemployed in Greece
This article concentrates on youth transitions into the labour market in one EU member state, Greece. The aim is to explore ways in which the Greek state has responded to the problem of youth unemployment, looking at policies (passive and active) introduced to address this. It reveals that state policies and social norms deeply embedded in the Greek culture, rather than encouraging acquisition of 'full-citizenship' and financial independence, res…

Undocumented Migrants in Greece: Issues of Regularization
This article studies migration from Albania into Greece and schematically looks at the socio‐economic integration and/or exclusion of Albanians. It explores the issue of regularization: first, providing an explanation for the choices made by a government by using a simple game‐theoretic framework and, second, it outlines the current efforts made towards regularization of undocumented migrants in Greece. The game‐theoretic example shows that, unde…
Albanian and Polish Undocumented Workers in Greece: A Comparative Analysis
This article deals with the migration of undoc umented workers from Albania and Poland to Greece. Its underlying assumption is that mi gration from the former post-communist countries to Greece is not a homogeneous phenomenon, thus allowing for a distinction and comparison between the migration waves from Poland and Albania to Greece
Immigration to Greece: A critical evaluation of Greek policy
Migration is a significant global phenomenon, one of the great challenges of the 1990s. In Europe, the Single Market has given a boost to inter‐EU mobility through the loosening of restrictions on movement within the member states of the Union. In addition, substantial transfers of population are taking place from less‐developed countries outside Europe, to Europe. There are also large‐scale migration flows from Eastern Europe, mainly due to ethn…

Sexuality and its cultural construction in rural Greece
The paper focuses on aspects of gender relations and sexuality in two villages in western Crete (Greece). It concentrates on local ideas about the sexuality of men and women and on the way in which a shift, in values and practices has occurred since the early 1970s, with economic change. The paper suggests that the economic development in the two villages, and the opportunities this has opened up for the women and men who live there, has meant a …
