In that first issue we wrote: Research and dialogue in the social sciences as such have never been in the forefront of the mainstream Greek society. A variety of reasons have been offered for this seeming lack of interest in the social research field, the primary being some kind of &#8220;socio-political conspiracy&#8221; on the part of the conservative elites that have governed Greece almost exclusively since Independence. As a matter of fact, it is not accidental that neither sociology, psychology nor education faculties exist in Greek universities, where systematic research on political and historical issues has been minimal. Numerous scholars have pointed out that in-depth research and analyses of the different socio-political issues prevailing in Greek society have been repeatedly avoided or even stifled altogether. Only very few instances exist where individual efforts have challenged this traditional indifference towards unraveling the mechanisms and processes underlying the very structures and functioning of the entire Greek social apparatus. In addition, the mere fact that Greece spends the least money in terms of percentage of GNP of all European and developing nations for research is one more indication of the low priority placed on social sciences investigation. On the other hand, as has been documented throughout the existing literature, almost &#8220;another Greece&#8221; exists outside Greece proper. The so-called Apodimoi Hellenes or the Greek diaspora may be found all over the globe, and more so in the large industrialized countries of the Western world, such as the USA, Canada, Australia, West Germany, and Sweden, to name a few. Research and social interest about the millions of Greek immigrants on the part of &#8220;metropolitan Greece&#8221; has been virtually non-existent, with the exception of a few unsystematic descriptive accounts for mainly administrative purposes. Whatever studies do exist about Greek immigrants around the world are the exclusive work of scholars of the Greek diaspora and organizations of Greek immigrants themselves, or even, in some instances, of non Greek scholars working within the overall field of ethnic relations. This trend, towards investigating different ethnic parameters, has intensified over the last twenty years or so among the immigrant-receiving societies.<\/p>\n<p>By acknowledging and sharing the positive contribution of all efforts of Greek and non-Greek scholars who have somehow been, involved in the studying of Greek issues around the globe, \u00c9tudes hell\u00e9niques\/Hellenic Studies aims to offer one more concrete challenge within the social sciences field. \u00c9tudes hell\u00e9niques\/Hellenic Studies begins its publication with the sincere and ambitious goal of becoming the international academic forum of dialogue and exchange of ideas among all scholars dealing with the multifaceted issues prevailing among the Hellenes of the entire world. Of course since 1983 much water has flowed under the bridge. As a matter of fact, in Greece progress has been made in numerous fields of study and research in the social sciences, especially in sociology, psychology, education and political science. There is now an openness within the Greek universities. Research institutions have also appeared since 1983. Nevertheless in all these fields much has yet to be accomplished in order to go further and be compared on an equal footing with other developed countries. In 1985 the publication of this journal was interrupted for various reasons, but we returned even stronger in 1994. Our goal as set in 1983 was to become an international academic forum for dialogue and the exchange of ideas among all scholars dealing with the multifaceted issues of Hellenic studies (culture, society, politics, economy, diaspora, etc.). We still have the same mission. In fact, our publication in English and French has always sought to pursue the cooperation and contribution of the finest experts on Greek issues inside and outside Greece proper. This goal also remains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After so many years of publishing by the Centre for Hellenic Studies and Research Canada-KEEK, we are pleased that as of this issue we are entering into a new era in cooperation with the Centre of Intercultural and Migration Studies-EDIAMME of the Department of Primary Education of the University of Crete and the Post-Graduate Program (Political, Economic and International Relations in the Mediterranean), of the Department of Mediterranean Studies at the University of the Aegean. This trilateral cooperation will permit us to continue publishing this academic journal, which has become an international reference on issues of Hellenic studies. With a new \u00e9lan, we will continue focussing on the same ambitious goal &#8211; provide an international academic forum for dialogue and the exchange of ideas among all scholars researching the multifaceted field of Hellenic studies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>NOTE DE REDACTION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00c9tudes hell\u00e9niques\/Hellenic Studies a vu le jour au printemps 1983. Dans cette premi\u00e8re \u00e9dition nous \u00e9crivions \u00e0 l&#8217;\u00e9poque: La recherche dans le domaine des sciences sociales n&#8217;a jamais connu de d\u00e9veloppement s\u00e9rieux en Gr\u00e8ce: m\u00eame aujourd&#8217;hui, c&#8217;est un domaine sous-d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 auquel on accorde peu d&#8217;importance. Il y a plusieurs raisons qui expliquent ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne, mais l&#8217;explication principale r\u00e9side dans le fait que les \u00e9lites conservatrices qui sont depuis l&#8217;ind\u00e9pendance aux commandes de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 grecque ont toujours banni les sciences sociales, les consid\u00e9rant comme subversives. Ce n &#8216;est pas un hasard s&#8217;il n &#8216;existe pas au sein des universit\u00e9s grecques de d\u00e9partement ou de facult\u00e9 de sociologie, de psychologie ou d&#8217;\u00e9ducation, alors que m\u00eame en histoire et en science politique les recherches ont \u00e9t\u00e9 et restent toujours tr\u00e8s limit\u00e9es. D&#8217;aucuns soutiennent que les recherches et analyses approfondies sur les probl\u00e8mes de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 hell\u00e9nique furent exclues de propos d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9. Les institutions sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9es dans de telles recherches se font encore attendre. Par ailleurs, la Gr\u00e8ce est celui parmi les pays europ\u00e9ens et les pays d\u00e9velopp\u00e9s en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral qui consacre le plus bas pourcentage de son produit national brut \u00e0 l&#8217;investissement dans le domaine de la recherche: c &#8216;est encore un indice que la recherche dans le domaine des sciences sociales ne constitue pas une priorit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>De l&#8217;autre c\u00f4t\u00e9, il faut signaler l&#8217;existence d&#8217;une &#8220;autre Gr\u00e8ce&#8221; en dehors des fronti\u00e8res nationales, constitu\u00e9e par les Grecs de la diaspora-Apodimoi Hell\u00e8nes. Les Grecs de la diaspora sont dispers\u00e9s \u00e0 travers le monde. On les trouve plus particuli\u00e8rement dans les pays industrialis\u00e9s, aux Etats-Unis, au Canada, en Australie, en Allemagne de l&#8217;Ouest, en Su\u00e8de, pour ne nommer que quelques pays. La Gr\u00e8ce m\u00e9tropolitaine a jusqu&#8217; \u00e0 maintenant manifest\u00e9 peu d&#8217;int\u00e9r\u00eat pour la recherche en sciences sociales concernant les millions d&#8217;immigrants grecs; il n &#8216;existe qu &#8216;un petit nombre de rapports descriptifs et non syst\u00e9matiques r\u00e9dig\u00e9s pour des raisons administratives. Les \u00e9tudes existantes sur les immigrants grecs \u00e0 travers le monde sont le travail exclusif de chercheurs grecs de la diaspora, d&#8217;organismes relevant des immigrants eux-m\u00eames, ou m\u00eame, dans quelques cas des chercheurs non-grecs travaillant dans le domaine des relations ethniques en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral. Cette tendance de l&#8217;\u00e9tude des diff\u00e9rents param\u00e8tres ethniques s&#8217;est intensifi\u00e9e durant les vingt derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es au sein des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s d&#8217;accueil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">De cette fa\u00e7on, en faisant conna\u00eetre les contributions positives des sp\u00e9cialistes grecs et non-grecs qui se sont pench\u00e9s sur de telles questions, la revue \u00c9tudes hell\u00e9niques\/Hellenic Studies s&#8217;est propos\u00e9e de relever un d\u00e9fi de taille dans le domaine des sciences sociales. Les \u00c9tudes hell\u00e9niques\/Hellenic Studies ont inaugur\u00e9 leur publication en se fixant comme but de devenir un forum acad\u00e9mique international de dialogue et d&#8217;\u00e9change d&#8217;id\u00e9es parmi les universitaires et chercheurs qui s&#8217;occupent des Hell\u00e8nes \u00e0 travers le monde.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Naturellement depuis 1983 beaucoup d&#8217; eau est pass\u00e9e sous les ponts. Il est en effet vrai que depuis cette date on a pu observer un progr\u00e8s certain dans nombre de secteurs de recherche et d&#8217;\u00e9tude tels la sociologie,la psychologie,l&#8217;\u00e9ducation et la science politique. Il y a actuellement une ouverture sur ces secteurs dans les universit\u00e9s grecques. Quelques institutions de recherche ont aussi fait leur apparition depuis 1983.N\u00e9anmoins beaucoup de choses restent \u00e0 faire dans ces domaines afin que la Gr\u00e8ce puisse se comparer convenablement aux autres pays d\u00e9velopp\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pour diff\u00e9rentes raisons nous avons interrompu notre \u00e9dition en 1985, mais nous sommes revenus en 1994. Notre objectif fix\u00e9 en 1983, de faire des \u00c9tudes hell\u00e9niques\/Hellenic Studies un forum acad\u00e9mique international de dialogue et d&#8217;\u00e9change d&#8217;id\u00e9es parmi les universitaires et les chercheurs qui s&#8217;occupent de l&#8217;hell\u00e9nisme (culture, soci\u00e9t\u00e9, politique, \u00e9conomie, relations internationales, diaspora, etc.) est toujours actuel. De plus, en publiant ses textes en fran\u00e7ais et en anglais, les \u00c9tudes hell\u00e9niques\/Hellenic Studies ont voulu favoriser la coop\u00e9ration internationale des experts des probl\u00e8mes grecs, objectif qui reste aussi toujours d&#8217;actualit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aujourd&#8217;hui apr\u00e8s tant d&#8217;ann\u00e9es de publication de cette revue acad\u00e9mique par le Centre de recherches hell\u00e9niques Canada-KEEK, nous sommes heureux d&#8217;entrer dans une nouvelle \u00e8re et de proc\u00e9der \u00e0 partir de ce num\u00e9ro \u00e0 une collaboration avec les Universit\u00e9s grecques de Cr\u00e8te et de la Mer Eg\u00e9e.
