Master-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Institutionen för Urbana Studier (US)Sammanfattning : The thesis inquires into the entanglement between the unsettlement of the Greek model of social reproduction that heavily relies on self-regulated property ownership and the emergence of vigilant violence on behalf of local property owners against undocumented migrants in the relegated neighborhood of Ksiladika in Thessaloniki’s West End.

5. Top-down reconciliation and the role of time : The case of the Greek Civil War
Magister-uppsats, Institutionen för samhällsstudier (SS)Sammanfattning : Despite the vast research by both international and Greek academics underlining the reconciliatory policies and reforms that the Greek political leadership implemented between theyears 1974 and 1989, little is stated on a grassroots level by the ex-combatants of the Greek Civilwar about these policies with regards to their reconciliatory effects, as well as the need for their implementation twenty years after the end of the conflict (1949). The overall objective of this research is to evaluate if the series of the policies implemented by the Greek government had actually a reconciliatory effect on the active participants of the Civil war, as well as an impact on the Greek society as a whole.
