Integration policies for refugees in Greece and Europe: A comparative analysis

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of refugee integration policies in Greece and the European Union (EU), emphasizing socio-political, economic, and cultural dimensions. Through a comparative framework, it evaluates Greece’s approach against Germany, Sweden, and Italy, while addressing systemic challenges such as resource allocation, legal fragmentation, and social cohesion. The study draws on EU directives, national legislation, and empirical data to argue that effective integration requires a harmonized EU strategy, tailored local solutions, and robust civil society participation. Recommendations include policy reforms, increased funding, and community-based initiatives.
