Abstract

Migration is a major issue, not only for Europe but for the whole world, and it will remain so for years to come. It is a phenomenon caused by a number of factors and one that is beyond the capacities of a single state to tackle. Rather it requires solidarity and joint efforts to handle it. This article focuses on the migration/refugee issue in Europe, particularly from the perspective of Greece. It provides an overview of the efforts of Greece and the EU to address the challenge of irregular migration and the flow of refugees in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Summary

Introduction

Migration is an international phenomenon that affects all aspects of everyday life across the world in terms of economics, society, and national and global security. This article focuses on irregular migration and the flow of refugees in the Eastern Mediterranean. This region—where Greece is located—acts as the border between Europe and the Middle East and Asia, as well as part of Africa. The article provides an overview of the efforts of Greece and the EU to deal with the flow of people in the Eastern Mediterranean. It argues that irregular migration in the region is a challenge of such magnitude that no one European country is capable of handling it alone. It requires a constant and effective expression of European solidarity
