Within this climate, migration is at risk of being seen more than ever before as an additional ‘burden’ that societies have to ‘carry’ and it is sometimes even questioned why it should be accommodated or respected at all. This paper draws on empirical research from Greece to examine changing European societies, with a particular focus on how the crisis is affecting the most vulnerable members of society, the stateless children and women migrants and refugees.

In contrast to such approaches, this paper discusses the alternating modes of regulation in Greece from the post-war period until the recent crisis and argues that, despite the ruptures, lags and deviations, an alignment with wider international developments emerges. Four phases are distinguished: a post-Civil War period of growth under an authoritarian rule; a short Keynesian period of stagnation; a period of growth and neo-liberalization; and the current crisis. It is also argued that the crisis provided an opportunity to deepen certain neo-liberalization processes across the European Union (EU), further denationalize economic policy and impose fiscal discipline at the expense of the social state, even through constitutionalization. These developments advocate the view that Greece is rather a ‘test case’ than a ‘special case’.
