These researchers, who come from all branches of the economic and social sciences, the huma- nities and law, implement an integrated, multidisciplinary and interna- tionally comparative research program that focuses on Europe’s migra- tion and integration challenges. Within the program, existing research is integrated and new re- search lines are developed that involve issues crucial to European-level policy-making and provide a theory-based design to implement new re- search. The publication program of IMISCOE is based on five distinct publication profiles, designed to make its research and results available to scien- tists, policymakers and the public at large. High-quality manuscripts written by IMISCOE members, or in cooperation with IMISCOE members, are published in these five series. An Editorial Committee coordinates the review process of the manuscripts. The five series are: 1. Joint Studies 2. Research 3. Dissertations 4. Reports 5. Textbooks More information on the network can be found at: www.imiscoe.org IMISCOE Dissertations include dissertations of IMISCOE members. There are more than 100 Ph.D. candidates in the various affiliated institu- tions working on doctoral research within the IMISCOE framework.

Summary of thesis The study examines issues surrounding the social incorporation of im- migrants in Greece, focusing on a particular city, Thessaloniki, and on two migrant groups, Albanians and Bulgarians. The research is set within the debates about migration and globalisation, and more specifi- cally within the regional context of Balkan transnational migration. The thesis is the outcome of fieldwork research that involved struc- tured questionnaires, in-depth interviews, background sources and sys- tematic observation. It addresses the factors shaping immigrants’ lives through combined methodologies and an interdisciplinary approach that goes beyond oversimplifying accounts of exclusion-inclusion; rather, these are seen as dynamic processes connected to the wider so- cial reality. The concept of incorporation is employed in order to ana- lyse both the ways by which migrants organise their lives in the host society and the structural, institutional and cultural contexts that condi- tion them. The analytical framework distinguishes between several in- terrelated modes of incorporation: social/political responses; labour- market integration; living conditions and social space; coping strategies and community formation. A number of additional factors are also considered: the composition of the migrant populations; migratory pat- terns and dynamics; the role of social networks; issues of access; and questions of identity. The findings provide an empirical account of the immigrants’ char- acteristics, uncovering a high degree of heterogeneity that unavoidably determines incorporation patterns. ‘Immigrants’ become a social cate- gory constructed on the basis of the exclusionary mechanisms: the re- strictive immigration policy, the spread of xenophobic attitudes, and the particular space immigrants occupy in the labour market. However, immigrants do make a living in the host society: by adopting certain in- tegration ‘strategies’; by relying on (mostly informal) social networks; and by interacting in various ways with the local population. Incorpora- tion is subject to time and place: gradually, immigrants become organic elements of the host society, which shapes, but is also being shaped by, migration. The findings suggest that the Greek urban experience of immigra- tion is an interesting example of contemporary processes of globalisa- 6 MIGRATION IN CONTEMPORARY GREECE tion, migration and incorporation in urban contexts. Firstly, because some of the chief characteristics of international migration are re- flected in the Greek case. Secondly, because the Greek economy and Greek society have experienced immigration during a period of transi- tion and of increasing exposure to the international environment. Thirdly, because of certain features of transnational mobility emerging in the Balkan space, determined by proximity and cultural/historical ties. Within this context, Thessaloniki is becoming a new home for im- migrants from the Balkans. With a long past of multicultural coexis- tence and trans-local importance in the Balkan region, Thessaloniki now searches for new identities and reclaims its old role through the contradictions of a rapidly changing reality.

    460 Book Reviews ical Clientelism). The above essays have in common their attachment to some larger published study or group of studies already accessible to English language scholarship. George K. Zacharopoulos’ anti-monarchist essay, "The Monarchy and Politics in Mod­ ern Greece”, is an interesting survey, but covers no new ground. Robin Fletcher undertakes an ambitious task when he seeks to review the whole range of cultural and literary activ­ ity in nineteenth-century Greece in his essay, "Cultural and Intellectual Developments, 1821-1911”. From education to archeology to the arts, literature and historiography, Fletch­ er surveys the field. His terminal date of 1911 relates to the establishment of the demotic as literary language, though the survey actually extends past 1911 in other areas. John Dim- akis’ history of "The Greek Press” constitutes one of the serious additions of this volume to English language scholarship on modern Greece. Richly documented, Dimakis’ account moves from the early pre-1821 Greek diaspora press, a subject of considerable recent Greek research, through the rapid growth and periodic crises of the press, including the under­ ground press. Quite in contrast to Dimakis’ careful survey, the essay on "The Role of the United States in the Cyprus Dispute”, by United States foreign service officer Thomas W. Davis, Jr., is flawed. Davis considers Makarios to have been a supporter of enosis long after the London/Zurich agreements, until into 1968. His essay is also conspicuously silent on the events of 1974, surprisingly so in light of the editor’s reference to the Cyprus issue in the in­ troduction to the volume.

Additionally, it is closely affiliated with the performance of energy efficiency of buildings. The citizens’ views and their adaptation to energy saving practices can be utilized as an important data base in order to design, improve and properly manage urbanization and environmental challenges in the residential sector. For the capitalization of the citizens’ views in Orestiada, the newest city in Greece, simple random sampling was applied on data that were collected via personal interviews and with the use of a structured questionnaire. Reliability and factor analyses were applied for the data processing along with hierarchical log-linear analysis. The latter was utilized for the statistical clustering of citizens into given distinct groups—clusters, arising by factor analysis. The main findings revealed that the citizens are merely aware of bioclimatic principles, while only a small percentage of 28.8% adopts some primary bioclimatic disciplines.

  • Music and Traditions of Thrace (Greece): a Trans-Cultural Teaching Tool 1
    MUSIC AND TRADITIONS OF THRACE (GREECE): A TRANS-CULTURAL TEACHING TOOL 1 Kalliopi Stiga 2 Evangelia Kopsalidou 3 Abstract: The geopolitical location as well as the historical itinerary of Greece into time turned the country into a meeting place of the European, the Northern African and the Middle-Eastern cultures. Fables, beliefs and religious ceremonies, linguistic elements, traditional dances and music of different regions of Hellenic space testify this cultural convergence. One of these regions is Thrace. The aim of this paper is firstly, to deal with the music and the dances of Thrace and to highlight through them both the Balkan and the middle-eastern influence. Secondly, through a listing of music lessons that we have realized over the last years, in schools and universities of modern Thrace, we are going to prove if music is or not a useful communication tool – an international language – for pupils and students in Thrace. Finally, we will study the influence of these different “traditions” on pupils and students’ behavior. Key words: Thrace; music; dances; multi-cultural influence; national identity; trans-cultural teaching Resumo: A localização geopolítica, bem como o itinerário histórico da Grécia através do tempo, transformou o país num lugar de encontro das culturas europeias, norte-africanas e do Médio Oriente. Fábulas, crenças e cerimónias religiosas, elementos linguísticos, danças tradicionais e a música das diferentes regiões do espaço helénico são testemunho desta convergência cultural. Uma destas regiões é a Trácia. O objectivo deste artigo é, em primeiro lugar, tratar da música e das danças da Trácia e destacar através delas as influências tanto dos Balcãs como do Médio Oriente.

This document is based on the Assessment undertaken by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) within the framework of the project “Fostering health provision for migrants, the Roma and other vulnerable groups” (Equi-Health). The Equi-Health project is co-financed under the 2012 work plan, within the second programme of Community action in the field of health (2008– 2013), by a direct grant awarded to IOM from the European Commission’s DG for Health and Food Safety (SANTE), through the Consumers, Health, Agriculture and Food Executive Agency (Chafea). The Equi-Health project is designed and managed by the International Organization for Migration Regional Office Brussels, Migration Health Division (MHD). The methodology of the field work and analysis, based on the prior Increasing Public Health Safety alongside the New Eastern European Border Line project (PHBLM) EC co-funded IOM project experience, was developed by IOM with additional support from the Andalusian School of Public Health (EASP). The Assessment Report was drafted under IOM MHD, RO Brussels guidance by Dr. Chrisoula Botsi and Panayiotis Damaskos, and benefitted from peer reviews by Marina Rota and an anonymous reviewer.
