Below are excerpts: Journalist: There is, however, a political and humanitarian question, at the societal level. We are referring to the political refugees of the Greek Civil War, who were excluded from general repatriation and live mainly in FYROM, and have the citizenship of this state. Andreas Loverdos: "…what functions as obstacles for the visit of these persons to Greece could very well be overcome in a simple but technical way. We are seeking a technical solution and have found a number of them." Journalist: This concerns the freedom to visit and communicate with relatives, which is the primary issue.

Passas Introduction1 This chapter focuses on the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) and seeks to trace the origin and the content of its preferences on European integration since its establishment in 1974. It challenges the established view that – couched as it is in PASOK’s rhetoric in the immediate post-1974 era – construes PASOK as an initially instinctively anti-European political party that subsequently performed a policy U- turn, a true political transformation by turning from a vocal anti-EEC stance to a pro- European (even federalist) attitude (Tsardanidis 1998, 295, 299, 300; Kazakos 1994, 5; Verney 1987, 259-60, 263; Featherstone 1988, 178; Couloumbis 1993, 126; Featherstone 1994, 158-9).

  • Greece: a Never-Ending Story of Mutual Attraction and Estrangement
    2444Ch7 3/12/02 2:03 pm Page 166 7 Nikos Frangakis and Antonios D. Papayannides Greece: a never-ending story of mutual attraction and estrangement Introduction: European and Greek identity: an ambivalent relationship and a gateway to modernity When dealing with Greek attitudes towards the process of European inte- gration, one should still bear in mind that in the 1970s and part of the 1980s, Euroscepticism – or even plain anti-European feelings – reigned in a large segment of both the elites and public opinion at large. Communists and radical Socialists depicted European integration as a subjugation mechanism mainly serving US interests – ‘the EEC and NATO are the same barracks’, to translate freely a slogan of that times. Given that after the fall of the Colonels’ regime in the mid-1970s, there was important anti-American sentiment in Greece, Europe was consequently tainted by the same negative feelings. Moreover, power in the European Communities was perceived as residing in an excluding ‘directorate’ that was to be impervious to the needs of a small country like Greece. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Conservative/Nea Dimocratia party of Costas Karamanlis, which had the initiative for Greek accession, openly considered integration into the Community as proof that Greece ‘belongs to the West’. It was only when the ruling Socialist/PASOK party progressively adopted a pro-European stance – after initiating a much- discussed renegotiation of Greek accession – that the present situation of almost Euroenthusiasm surfaced in Greece. At the end of the 1990s, the Union was seen in Greece1 as a gateway to modernity, as a source of financial assistance (mainly for infrastructure-building) and as a stabilis- ing force in foreign policy.2 Today, only the ‘orthodox’ Communist Party is openly anti-Union, while a hard-line splinter of the Socialists (DIKKI) also has clearly nega- tive reflexes.

  • The Greek Cauldron
    stathis kouvelakis THE GREEK CAULDRON he escalation of the Eurozone crisis in the closing months of 2011 has produced spectacular upheavals in the political land- scape. Within less than a fortnight, the Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou had announced a referendum on the Tpunitive terms of a loan agreed at the Eurozone summit on October 27, only to abandon the plan after public humiliation by Sarkozy and Merkel at the G20 summit in Cannes on November 4, and resign two days later. On November 10, Lucas Papademos, ex-chief of the Bank of Greece and a former vice-president of the European Central Bank, was installed at the head of a government of so-called national accord. Alongside ministers from the preceding pasok government, with several key figures— notably the Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos—keeping their posts, the centre-right opposition New Democracy party has been awarded six cabinet positions, including Defence and Foreign Affairs. Papademos’s government also includes a minister and two deputy ministers from the extreme-right laos party, which returns to office for the first time since the fall of the military dictatorship in 1974. By contrast, the parties of the Italian centre right, the Lega Nord and Popolo della Libertà, announced their opposition to the so-called technocratic government of the eu Commissioner Mario Monti, formed in Rome on November 12 after the forced departure of Silvio Berlusconi; thus scotching the plans of the centre-left pd, which had hoped to enter office on Monti’s coattails. The outcome in both Athens and Rome was above all determined by outside pressure from the German and French governments, accompa- nied by relentless assault from the bond markets, which have priced up both countries’ debts to unsustainable levels.

Policy The European Union and its member states Research Unit Series The European Union and the roles of member states is one of the major topics of political debate and academic discourse. The evolution of the political system in Brussels and the developments within the individual member states promise new insights into the European integration process. This book provides a country-by- Fifteen country analysis of how European policy is made and applied in the member states. Its central focus is the involvement of national institutions in European policy-making: governments, parliaments, sub-national governments, the courts and public administrations. Who participates at which stages of the European Union’s policy cycle and how do national institutions and non-state actors interact into one? and fit into the Union’s system? The contributors show how member states have adapted their institutional structures in different ways to European integration, especially since the Maastricht The European Treaty. The editors argue that the extent and intensity of institutional interaction between the EU and its member states have led to a ‘system of institutional fusion’. Wessels, Maurer & Mittag Maurer Wessels, This timely book is the most comprehensive study yet of European policy-making Union and its at the national level and is aimed at scholars of integration studies and comparative politics.

    Creative disability classification systems To the memory of Antonis Pavlis Studies from the Swedish Institute for Disability Research 87 ANTONIA PAVLI Creative disability classification systems The case of Greece, 1990-2015 Cover photo: Stelios Petros Chalas © Antonia Pavli, 2017 Title: Creative disability classification systems: The case of Greece, 1990-2015 Publisher: Örebro University 2017 www.publications.oru.se Print: Örebro University, Repro 8/2017 ISSN 1650-1128 ISBN 978-91-7529-204-5 Abstract Antonia Pavli (2017): Creative disability classification systems: The case of Greece, 1990-2015. Studies from the Swedish Institute for Disability Research 87. Disability classification systems belong to the core of states’ social/disability policies through which persons with disabilities are classified as eligible or ineligible for having access to disability allowances. The study of disability classification systems has stimulated the interest of several scholars from the broader area of disability studies. Either by conducting comparative studies between different states and describing the similarities and differences of these systems around the world or by conducting studies focusing on the politics and semantics in the development of disability classification systems in specific states, all studies have shown a pluralism in the systems for as- sessing and certifying disability. In Greece, the development of disability classification systems for social welfare reasons emerged as a controversy that lasted for almost twenty years. One factor that strengthened the con- troversy was the outbreak of the economic crisis late in 2009 followed by the announcement by the governmental authorities of the enactment of a new system for assessing and certifying disability as part of the austerity- driven policies that the Greek state would enact for facing the consequences of the economic crisis.

A prevailing tendency to focus on men and families among academic researchers and policymakers alike, renders them largely invisible. When it comes to African women, however, processes of gendered racialization operate to make them also hyper-visible in stereotypical ways: as oppressed wives and mothers, uneducated domestic workers, and sexualised and/or dangerous Others. In a country in which national identity and belonging are strongly racialized, African women have long been subjected to processes of legal abjectification.
