Leveraging the European Refugee Crisis: Forced Displacement and Bargaining in Greece's Bailout Negotiations
研究了希腊如何利用2015-16年欧洲难民危机，将难民管理问题与经济援助挂钩，在纾困谈判中改变策略以争取利益，揭示了被迫流离失所在欧盟成员国国际政治中的重要性。
Abstract How does forced migration feature in EU member states' foreign policy and how does it affect their bargaining strategies? While the literature highlights EU‐level policies aiming to manage forced migration flows, we examine how Greece sought to leverage its response to the 2015–16 European migrant crisis. We propose a theoretical framework that explains why the SYRIZA–ANEL government sought to leverage Greece's position as a refugee‐host state via an issue‐linkage strategy tying the management of forced migration to economic aid over the Third Economic Adjustment Programme. Initially employing a ‘blackmailing’ strategy focused on threats, Greece shifted to a ‘backscratching’ strategy of co‐operation after March 2016, once its geopolitical importance and numbers of asylum seekers within its territory were reduced. We provide the first detailed analysis of Greece's foreign policy response to the European migrant crisis, demonstrating the importance of forced displacement in the international politics of EU member states.
