Since 2008, Greece has been at the centre of European current
affairs due to the financial and economic crisis. However, it
should not be forgotten that before the current crisis the
political upheavals of the early 1990s and the collapse of
Marxist-inspired regimes had already radically transformed the face
of the country. These transformations have been seen as a return of
the Balkans' question, raising issues of border disputes and
migration, minorities and national inclusion. They have had
far-reaching consequences on the relations between Greek society
and its peripheries, and what some have deemed to be its
destabilising diversity. In this context, the material presented in
this book examines the strengthening of discourses of belonging
which draw legitimacy from a glorification of the past and
tradition. The fieldwork carried out over the past 15 years on the
fringes of Greece has focused on groups who were stigmatised and
distanced from standard definitions of Greekness. It provides an
original perspective on the changes that the country has undergone
in recent decades. The question of the nation-state's future is
raised through close observation on the local scale, leading to a
debate about the relationship between areal and reticular territory
within the framework of globalisation. This book also aims to
provide non-Francophone readers with access to research carried out
on these issues in France, shifting the focus of Balkan Anglophone
specialists for whom French publications remain a distant province.
