Summary/Abstract: The study of refugee and migration flows in Southeastern Europe remains a major challenge, as the national level is seen as a restraining factor, while the EU level, on the other hand, sets an agenda that obscures national divergences. The socio-economic and political conditions in Greece provide the framework for addressing refugees and migration flows, as well as asylum and migration policies. The latter have been significantly altered to respond to the changing needs created by increasing refugee flows seeking to improve their well-being by moving to Europe.
