A THEORETICAL LOOK ON GREEK RESPONSE TO THE REFUGEE CRISIS
Journal Title: Journal of International Relations and Political Science Studies - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The massive migration flows from the Middle Eastern countries towards the European Union had become one of the central issues in the policy-makers agendas. Especially, the period after 2015, often regarded as the Refugee Crisis, challenged particularly three-member states, Italy, Spain, and Greece, when they had received a high number of refugees. One of the core values of the international human rights law, the non-refoulment principle, applies to all migrants regardless of time and migration status, and it guarantees that any person should not be turned back to a state where there is a risk of persecution, cruelty, inhuman treatment, torture or other irreparable harm. However, in terms of their responses, the EU member states had shown differences and approaches changed over time depending on changing context conditions. Due to this paper’s limited nature, there will be a focus on Greek response in recent years while carrying a theoretical attempt by comparing the assumptions and insights provided by Copenhagen School and Realist School. In the end, the presented argument in this study is that realism can be applied to explain a protectionist Greek approach during the last years towards incoming migrants as the Copenhagen School is limited to some extent.
